2019 Tesla Model S Perform Ludicrous AWD Electric · LC69 PXW

A largely trouble‑free MOT record defines this 2019 Tesla Model S, with four consecutive passes and only a single advisory for a near‑side rear inner road‑wheel weld repair noted in late 2025; the most recent test in August 2026 again passed without defects, confirming that no new safety‑critical issues have emerged. At 65,700 miles the vehicle averages just under 9,400 miles per year, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within typical usage for a seven‑year‑old executive saloon. The annual testing cadence shows no prolonged gaps, indicating the car has been kept on the road rather than stored for extended periods. For an electric drivetrain this mileage translates primarily into wear on tyres, suspension components and the regenerative‑brake system, while the high‑voltage battery pack will have accumulated a proportionate number of charge cycles but no MOT‑recorded concerns. When inspecting the wheel‑area advisory, focus on the repaired inner rim section: spin the tyre at standstill and listen for wobble, feel for lateral play, and check the tyre tread for uneven wear that could signal a compromised rim. A visual inspection should confirm the weld is sound, free of cracks or corrosion, and that the wheel bolts torque correctly. While the car benefits from regenerative braking, it is still prudent to examine the front and rear brake discs for scoring or excessive thickness loss, and to verify that the pads retain sufficient material, especially given the moderate annual mileage. Finally, a comprehensive test drive should include a quiet, vibration‑free ride over varied road surfaces, with the steering remaining centred and no pull to either side. Listen for any clunk or knock when navigating bumps, which could reveal worn suspension bushes or compromised sub‑frame joints. Confirm that all electronic safety systems—autonomous emergency braking, lane‑keep assist and traction control—activate without fault codes, and request a recent high‑voltage battery health report to ensure the pack’s state of charge and degradation are within acceptable limits before committing to purchase.
