2015 Tesla Model S Electric · LC64 OFB

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 9 February 2026 with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history back to 2019, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, as the car has consistently passed without a single advisory or failure. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a vehicle that has been operated in a manner that avoided common wear-and-tear failures typically seen in older luxury saloons. With a recorded mileage of 145,660 miles over an eleven year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 13,242 miles per year. This is considered high usage, which places significant demand on the chassis and drivetrain. While the MOT history is clean, high mileage typically accelerates the degradation of rubber components, suspension bushings, and the overall efficiency of the high-voltage battery pack. Prospective buyers should be aware that high-mileage electric vehicles may exhibit more pronounced range degradation compared to lower-mileage examples of the same vintage. Given the absence of MOT advisories, the physical inspection should focus on components that are not always scrutinized during a standard test. Particular attention must be paid to the suspension system; listen for clunks or knocks over uneven surfaces, which would indicate worn control arm bushes or ball joints. Check the condition of the tyres for uneven wear patterns, which may suggest a need for wheel alignment, and inspect the sidewalls for perishing or fine cracking despite adequate tread depth. The brake system should be evaluated for binding calipers or pitted brake discs, as the regenerative braking system often means the physical brakes are under-utilised and prone to corrosion. Finally, verify the health of the 12V accessory battery, as these are prone to failure in older Teslas and can cause systemic electrical faults. Review the service history to ensure that calendar-based maintenance, such as brake fluid replacement and air conditioning desiccant checks, has been performed. A thorough inspection of the underbody for structural corrosion is advised, especially if the vehicle has been used in coastal areas or on salted winter roads. A comprehensive test drive should be used to monitor for any unusual vibrations through the steering rack or wind noise from degraded door seals, both of which are common in high-mileage vehicles of this age.
