2018 Tesla Model S Electricity · LC67 RBF

The 2018 Tesla Model S presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 6 January 2026 at 108,769 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is firmly stable. A minor blip occurred just four days prior on 2 January 2026 at 108,688 miles, where the vehicle failed on three tyre-related defects, but these were rectified immediately before the successful retest. This pattern indicates attentive, responsive ownership rather than neglect. The vehicle has covered 108,769 miles over approximately eight years, averaging roughly 13,596 miles per year. This is notably high for a luxury electric saloon of this age. The mileage progression is consistent and well-documented, with no suspicious gaps or sudden drops. Between the December 2024 test at 97,730 miles and the January 2026 test at 108,769 miles, the car accumulated 11,039 miles in just over twelve months, confirming sustained daily use rather than long periods of inactivity. The MOT record is clean and complete across all five entries, with no gaps in testing history. The only recurring theme in the defect history is tyre condition. The January 2026 failure flagged an offside rear inner tyre cut deep enough to expose ply or cords, a nearside rear inner tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge, and a nail in the nearside rear tyre. While these are consumable items and not structural concerns, the combination of a deep cut and edge wear on the same axle suggests the rear suspension geometry and alignment deserve close inspection. Uneven inner edge wear on a driven rear wheel can indicate toe misalignment or worn suspension bushes, which on a high-mileage electric vehicle with significant torque delivery is a legitimate mechanical check. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension bushes, ball joints, and subframe mounting points for wear, given the mileage and the tyre wear pattern observed. The brake discs and pads should be examined for uneven wear, and a full four-wheel alignment check is advisable to verify the rear axle geometry. Beyond these items, the MOT record raises no structural, corrosion, or drivetrain concerns. The vehicle appears to have been properly maintained throughout its life.
