2018 Tesla Model S Electricity · LC68 MYR

This car passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 with a single advisory for a low rear tyre, but the history shows a clear and recurring pattern of neglect on the nearside rear tyre. That same tyre has been flagged at every single test since 2023, including a failure for being worn and having a nail embedded in it. The fact that it was still borderline at the last test suggests the owner is running it right to the limit rather than replacing it proactively. The trend is stable but poor. The tyre issue is not worsening in severity, but it has not been resolved either. The headlamp alignment failures in 2023 were fixed, but the persistent rear tyre problem shows a lack of routine maintenance. The tyre pressure monitoring system failure in 2024 was also a fail item, though it passed the next year, indicating it was repaired. The mileage is very low for an eight-year-old car at roughly 4,100 miles per year. This is not necessarily a positive sign for an electric vehicle. Low mileage can mean the car sat unused for long periods, which can degrade the high-voltage battery if it was left at a low state of charge.
