2018 Tesla Model S Electric · LF18 SWW

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 January 2026 at 130,127 miles returned no defects or advisories. This flawless record across the last five tests suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in high-mileage electric vehicles. The mileage pattern indicates high annual usage, averaging approximately 16,200 miles per year over its eight-year life. A significant surge in usage occurred between the January 2024 test at 55,174 miles and the July 2025 test at 121,603 miles, where the car covered 66,429 miles in just eighteen months. Despite this rapid accumulation, the vehicle has consistently passed inspections without failure, suggesting the mileage likely involves motorway driving which generally puts less stress on suspension components compared to city driving. While the MOT record shows no recorded advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to high-mileage wear and tear. A buyer must specifically scrutinize the front suspension bushings, control arms, and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue or cracking, as the weight of the Model S accelerates wear on these parts. Additionally, the brake rotors should be checked for uneven wear or thinning, and the undercarriage should be inspected for any fluid leaks or minor corrosion that might not have triggered a standard MOT failure.
