2017 Tesla Model X Electric · LD17 MGE

A consistent record of clean MOT results characterizes this vehicle, with the most recent test on 15 April 2026 showing no recorded defects. While the history is largely free of mechanical failures, a single advisory regarding front brake disc wear, pitting, or scoring was noted in April 2023. Since that advisory, the subsequent two annual tests in 2024 and 2025 have returned with no further issues, suggesting that the previously identified brake component wear has either been addressed or has not progressed to a level requiring formal notification. The vehicle exhibits a low annual mileage profile, having covered 40,546 miles over approximately nine years of operation. This averages to roughly 4,505 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the typical UK average for a vehicle of this age. Such a usage pattern suggests the vehicle has spent considerable time stationary or has been used only for short-distance trips. Mechanically, this low frequency of use means that while drivetrain components may have lower cumulative wear, other elements such as rubber suspension bushes, seals, and tyres may be subject to age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear. Given the specific advisory regarding the front brake discs in 2023, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking performance during a test drive. Listen for any rhythmic clicking or grinding noises when decelerating and feel for any pedal judder or vibrations through the brake pedal, which can indicate uneven disc surfaces or warped rotors. Although no recent defects have been flagged, verifying the thickness and surface condition of the front discs and pads is a necessary step to ensure the 2023 advisory was fully resolved. The 2021 failure regarding the driver's door mechanism, which prevented external entry, is an isolated operational issue rather than a structural or mechanical failure. During an inspection, the door handles and latching mechanisms should be tested repeatedly to ensure smooth, reliable operation, particularly given the electronic nature of these components. Beyond the brakes and door operation, the low mileage profile warrants a visual inspection of the suspension linkages and rubber components for any signs of perishing or cracking that can occur when a vehicle is not driven regularly.
