2017 Tesla Model S Electric · LD67 LNT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 at 45,457 miles. While the car consistently passes the test, the maintenance trend shows a recent decline regarding tyre-related defects. The most recent inspection flagged de-lamination perishing and cracking on both front tyres, alongside a nail in the offside rear tyre, suggesting that the rubber is beginning to degrade due to age rather than heavy use. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,050 miles per year. Data shows consistent annual usage, moving from 24,175 miles in March 2022 to 45,457 miles by March 2026. This low-intensity usage typically means less wear on the electric drivetrain and braking system, but it increases the risk of age-related failure in rubber components, seals, and bushings which dry out when a vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres, as the recurring reports of perishing and damage between 2024 and 2026 indicate the current set is reaching the end of its structural life. Given the low mileage, the brakes should also be inspected for surface rusting or corrosion on the discs, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer from seized calipers. The 2022 failure for defective wiper blades was a minor consumable issue, but the suspension rubber bushings should be checked for cracks consistent with the vehicle's age.
