2018 Tesla Model X Electricity · LC68 MYM

The 2018 Tesla Model X presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 19 December 2025 at 42,589 miles with zero defects recorded. This is a strong indicator that the vehicle is currently in sound mechanical health. The preceding test on 20 December 2024 at 36,453 miles flagged minor front brake disc wear and scoring, but that issue appears to have been rectified or monitored, as no brake-related advisories carried forward into the most recent inspection. The record suggests attentive ownership in recent years, with no recurring structural or safety-critical failures. The vehicle has covered approximately 6,136 miles in the twelve months between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests, which is consistent with its long-term average of roughly 5,324 miles per year across its eight-year life. This is low annual mileage for a vehicle of its age. The steady, incremental accumulation without sudden spikes or prolonged gaps indicates regular rather than sporadic use. Low mileage generally reduces wear on consumables and drivetrain components, though a buyer should remain alert to the possibility of extended stationary periods, which can affect tyre flat-spotting, brake surface corrosion, and 12-volt battery condition. A prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focusing on areas that have appeared in the historical record. The December 2024 advisory regarding worn and pitted front brake discs warrants a physical check of the current disc thickness, pad condition, and caliper operation, even though the issue did not recur at the latest test. The December 2022 advisory concerning the offside front tyre wearing close to the legal limit and on its edge suggests a possible alignment or suspension geometry concern. A close examination of front suspension bushes, track rod ends, and wheel alignment settings would be prudent. The repeated presence of engine covers and under-shield obscuring components in the 2022 test is typical for this model but means a buyer should request removal of these panels to inspect for any hidden fluid leaks, corrosion to subframe mounting points, or damage to the battery enclosure casing. Given the clean recent pass rate, the mechanical outlook is positive, but these specific checks will confirm whether the upkeep has been consistent beneath the surface.
