2018 Tesla Model S Electricity · LF18 SWN

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a retest on 10 March 2026 at 68,352 miles, which resolved a headlamp aim failure from the same day. The maintenance trend shows intermittent issues rather than a consistent decline; a clean pass in March 2024 was followed by a March 2025 test that failed due to a tyre with structural separation and ineffective wiper, alongside a noted advisory for frayed seat belts. The subsequent March 2026 retest addressed the headlamps, but the frayed seat belts were again recorded on the passing certificate, indicating this defect persisted without correction for over a year. Mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,544 miles annually. The recorded intervals show regular use: from 55,870 miles in March 2024 to 62,590 miles in March 2025 (a gain of 6,720 miles), then to 68,352 miles by March 2026 (a further 5,762 miles). There are no unexplained gaps or sudden high-mileage spikes that would suggest periods of intense commercial use or prolonged inactivity. The record is sufficiently detailed to establish a pattern of standard private ownership with annual testing. A buyer must prioritise a hands-on inspection of the components flagged in the history. The recurring advisory for frayed front seat belts represents a significant safety risk and likely requires imminent replacement. The 2025 failure for a tyre with a structural bulge, even if rectified, demands a thorough examination of all four tyres for similar internal damage, separation, or uneven wear patterns. Finally, verify the current headlamp aim is correct and assess the windscreen wipers for effective clearance, as these were specific test failures. No suspension, brake, or corrosion issues appear in the record, but the structural tyre defect warrants particular caution.
