2017 Tesla Model S Electricity · LC67 DTX

The vehicle holds a current MOT valid until November 2025, having passed its most recent test on 20 November 2025 at 120,446 miles. The maintenance trend is stable but shows a gradual accumulation of minor wear items rather than a clean bill of health. Two advisories were recorded at that latest test: slight play in the nearside front track rod end ball joint and slight play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint. Both are classic indicators of aging front-end wear on a high-mileage electric saloon and suggest the front suspension is entering a phase where component renewal is likely within the next year or two. The annual mileage sits at roughly 13,383 miles per year, which is high for a nine-year-old luxury EV. The record shows a steady climb from 42,650 miles in December 2021 to 120,446 miles by November 2025, with no significant gaps or sudden drops that would suggest long-term storage or odometer anomalies. This consistent accumulation points to sustained daily use, placing above-average stress on consumable items such as tyres, brake components, and suspension bushes. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of brake-related advisories. A front inner brake disc was flagged as worn in November 2024 at 107,868 miles, and a rear brake disc was noted as worn, pitted, or scored in November 2023 at 86,694 miles, alongside rear brake pads wearing thin. While none of these reached failure threshold, the repeated disc wear across both axles over consecutive years suggests the car has been driven hard or in conditions that accelerate brake deterioration. A buyer should inspect the condition of all four brake discs and pads in person, paying attention to lipping, scoring, and pad thickness, and verify whether any discs have been replaced since the last test. The front-end advisories from the November 2025 test warrant particular attention. Play in the track rod end and lower suspension arm ball joint can manifest as vague steering, uneven tyre wear, or knocking over bumps. A physical inspection should include a check of the offside front suspension components for equivalent wear, as well as an assessment of tyre condition and alignment, given the high mileage. The rear tyre wear advisory from November 2022 also hints at possible alignment or suspension geometry issues that may have persisted. Overall, the car appears mechanically sound for its age and mileage, but the combination of front suspension wear and recurring brake disc advisories indicates that a proactive buyer should budget for near-term suspension and braking component renewal.
