2017 Tesla Model X Electric · JS63 GAL

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-08-07 at 90,462 miles was passed with no defects recorded, suggesting a stable maintenance trend in the past year. The absence of recurring issues since the 2023 failure indicates that any prior concerns were resolved, and the car has maintained compliance with roadworthiness standards. Given the proximity of the test date to today’s date, the record reflects up-to-date compliance, though the buyer should remain vigilant for latent mechanical degradation not captured by the MOT. The mileage pattern shows a consistent annual increase, with approximately 10,051 miles added each year since registration. Between 2023-07-14 (66,760 miles) and 2024-08-14 (72,876 miles), the car accumulated 6,116 miles in 13 months, followed by a significant jump to 90,462 miles by 2025-08-07. This latter increase of 17,586 miles in 12 months suggests heightened usage in the past year, which could accelerate wear on consumables like tyres or brake components. The regular MOT intervals and lack of repeated failures imply responsible ownership, though the recent mileage surge warrants scrutiny of high-stress systems. The 2023 failure at 66,556 miles, though unspecified in defects, may warrant closer inspection of components prone to intermittent faults, such as suspension bushes or brake discs. The car’s age and mileage mean wear on coil springs, exhaust systems, or structural elements could emerge if not addressed. The buyer should prioritize checking for corrosion in wheel arches or undercarriage areas, as well as testing brake performance and suspension responsiveness during a pre-purchase inspection. Given the lack of documented advisories, the focus should be on components that might fail unpredictably with age or high mileage. A professional inspection should emphasize the brake system, given the car’s weight and potential for heat-related wear, as well as the suspension components that may have contributed to the 2023 failure. The buyer must verify that all repairs post-2023 were thorough, particularly if the failure involved binding elements or corrosion. Additionally, tyre condition and wiper blade functionality should be assessed, as these are consumables that degrade with use and may not be fully reflected in MOT outcomes. Structural integrity checks for rust or fatigue are also critical, given the vehicle’s age and exposure to environmental factors over nearly nine years.
