2014 Tesla Model S Electricity · LC64 OTS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical wear after years of clean records. The test in January 2026 at 158,520 miles identified a defect regarding play in the nearside front track rod end ball joint. This follows a period of reactive maintenance in 2024 and 2025, indicating that the vehicle is now beginning to require attention on suspension components due to high-age fatigue. The mileage accumulation of approximately 13,200 miles per year suggests consistent high-frequency use over the car's twelve-year life. Between December 2023 and February 2025, the vehicle covered 7,184 miles in just fourteen months, reflecting a heavy usage pattern. While the vehicle maintained clean records through 2022 and 2023, the sudden failure in late 2024 for a faulty door mechanism and worn tyres suggests that routine inspections may have been neglected until the MOT deadline. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the track rod end issue often precedes broader wear on control arm bushings and wishbones. The recurring history of worn rear tyres across the 2024 and 2025 tests points to potential alignment issues or incorrect camber settings that require professional verification. Additionally, the offside rear door mechanism, which failed inspection in December 2024, should be tested repeatedly to ensure the internal actuators or linkages are not prone to recurring failure.
