2014 Tesla Model S Electricity · LC64 OTP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to mechanical upkeep. The most recent test in December 2025 at 105,859 miles flagged several advisories regarding front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and brake disc wear. While the car passed, the recurrence of suspension issues from the previous failure in late 2024 suggests that these components are only addressed once they reach a state of failure or significant play. At 105,859 miles, this 12-year-old vehicle has averaged approximately 8,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a car of this age. The record shows consistent use, with roughly 7,400 miles covered between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests, and another 8,000 miles in the preceding year. This steady mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat idle but is driven regularly, which explains the progressive wear on rubber-bound components and braking hardware. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the anti-roll bar linkages have progressed from being excessively worn to having slight play over just twelve months. This indicates a developing need for a front-end bush and linkage overhaul. The braking system also shows a clear history of neglect, with thin pads noted in 2023 leading to worn discs by late 2025. The buyer should check for binding calipers and ensure the parking brake efficiency holds after previously failing. Tyre management reveals a recurring lack of attention, evidenced by multiple failures in 2024 due to tread depths below the legal limit and uneven wear patterns. The edge wear on the front tyres often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushings that should be verified on a lift. Additionally, the pressure monitoring system reported as inoperative in 2023 must be checked to ensure it is now functional to prevent undetected tyre degradation and safety risks.
