2020 Tesla Model X Long Range AWD Electric · LB70 SSO

A broadly favourable but lightly advisory MOT history accompanies this 2020 Tesla Model X Long Range AWD, with both recorded tests resulting in passes. The most recent examination on 23 February 2026 was straightforward, noting only a child seat restricting inspection of the nearside rear adult belt and front inner brake pads recorded as wearing thin under item 1.1.13 (a) (ii). The prior test on 6 September 2024 flagged both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. With no failures, no dangerous defects, and only minor wear-related advisories spread across a two-and-a-half-year testing window, the recorded roadworthiness trend is stable, with the components flagged consistent with the natural consumption pattern expected of a vehicle carrying nearly sixty thousand miles across its lifespan. Against an age of roughly six years, the recorded odometer reading of 59,709 miles equates to an annual accumulation of approximately 9,952 miles per year, which sits broadly in line with average usage for a vehicle of this type. The two MOT entries bracket a gap of just over seventeen months between tests, and the mileage progression implicit in that interval is consistent with steady, moderate-distance use rather than extreme short-hop urban running or extended periods of standing. For an EV of this specification, this kind of usage profile tends to be favourable for tyre longevity, brake disc and pad condition (as regenerative braking reduces mechanical brake wear), and suspension component life, though the chassis, hubs, and steering linkages still accumulate wear proportional to mileage and road conditions. Given the advisory recorded at the most recent test for front inner brake pads wearing thin, prospective buyers should verify the remaining pad material on both front inner and outer pads, as inner pad wear on Teslas can progress unevenly depending on caliper slide pin condition. The brake discs should be checked for lip, corrosion ring, and surface scoring, and a firm pedal feel should be confirmed during a test drive. Any pulling under braking, vibration through the pedal, or grinding noises would warrant immediate investigation. The previous advisory concerning both front tyres being close to the limit with edgewear suggests attention to wheel alignment and suspension geometry; on a test drive, listen for clonking or knocking from the front end, feel for steering vagueness or a pull to one side, and inspect the inner and outer edges of any currently fitted tyres for uneven wear patterns that could point to worn control arm bushes, tie rod ends, or top mounts. The 2024 advisory regarding nearside and offside front tyres both worn close to the legal limit on their edges is worth treating as a prompt to inspect the present tyres for similar wear characteristics, as edgewear on a heavy all-wheel-drive SUV can recur relatively quickly if geometry is not within specification. During a physical inspection, check all four tyres for brand, age, and even wear across the tread surface, and examine the sidewalls for any cracking or bulging. Beyond the flagged items, a Model X of this age and mileage warrants a careful look at the falcon wing door mechanisms for smooth, consistent operation, the air suspension system for level ride height and any compressor cycling, and the underside for any signs of corrosion or impact damage, particularly given the vehicles weight and torque output. A pre-purchase inspection at a specialist familiar with Tesla chassis and high-voltage systems remains advisable to cover items outside the MOT scope.
