2015 Tesla Model S Electricity · LD65 THG

The most recent MOT test conducted in October 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. Looking at the broader history, the vehicle has maintained a consistent passing record since its failure in 2022, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend. The absence of any recorded advisories over the last three consecutive tests is a positive indicator that the vehicle has been kept in a compliant state regarding its structural integrity, lighting, and essential safety components. The recorded mileage of 87,169 miles against an eleven-year-old vehicle indicates an average annual usage of approximately 7,924 miles. This is a moderate usage profile that avoids the extreme wear associated with high-mileage commercial or heavy-duty use, yet it is sufficient to have required regular consumable replacements. From a mechanical perspective, this level of usage suggests that while major drivetrain components may remain robust, secondary systems such as suspension bushings, shock absorbers, and braking hardware will have undergone standard lifecycle wear. As the MOT history is remarkably clean and lacks specific defect documentation, your physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation and time-based wear. Closely examine the tyres for signs of perishing, such as sidewall cracking or micro-cracking in the tread grooves, which can occur due to rubber age regardless of remaining tread depth. During the test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension, which may indicate worn bushes or coil springs, and monitor for any brake shudder or pulling to one side, which could suggest warped discs or binding calipers. Given the vehicle's age, it is also vital to inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion or impact damage to the battery casing. While the MOT does not assess high-voltage battery health, you should verify the service history for any evidence of thermal management system maintenance or coolant changes. Check the condition of the 12V auxiliary battery and ensure all electronic sensors and auxiliary systems are operating without error. Finally, examine the rubber weatherstripping around doors and windows for hardening, as this can lead to wind noise or moisture ingress over time.
