2017 Tesla Model X Electric · LB66 UOM

The 2017 Tesla Model X presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 21 February 2026 at 168,253 miles with zero defects recorded. This outcome, alongside the absence of any advisories or failures in the preceding tests, demonstrates consistent mechanical upkeep. The vehicle has passed every recorded MOT without a single flagged defect, indicating a reliable ownership pattern and diligent attention to consumable and structural integrity. Such a pristine record is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Accumulating 168,253 miles over nine years equates to roughly 18,695 miles annually, a notably high yearly average that accelerates wear on suspension bushes, drivetrain components, and tyres. The mileage progression reveals intense usage, jumping from 128,537 miles in September 2022 to 145,016 miles in November 2023, and then to 162,815 miles by November 2024. A peculiar anomaly appears in the October 2024 test at 162,404 miles, where the vehicle officially failed despite recording no defects, likely indicating an aborted or incomplete test, before passing cleanly two weeks later. Following that November 2024 pass, the mileage plateaued entirely, showing zero miles driven between the test date and the February 2026 inspection, suggesting the vehicle has been standing stationary for over a year. Despite the flawless MOT record, the high annual mileage and recent stationary period necessitate a thorough physical inspection. Buyers should scrutinize the suspension bushes and coil springs for premature deterioration caused by the heavy mileage accumulation. The braking system requires close examination; although no binding calipers or worn brake discs appeared on the MOT, prolonged inactivity can cause surface corrosion on brake discs and seized calipers. Tyre condition demands particular attention, as standing for over a year can lead to flat-spotting or sidewall cracking, even if tread depth remains legal. Inspect the underbody and structural mounting points for corrosion, as a year of standing can exacerbate rust on exposed components. Finally, verify the health of the high-voltage battery and electric drivetrain, as extended periods of inactivity can adversely affect lithium-ion cell balancing and overall battery health.
