2018 Tesla Model S Electricity · LF18 SWZ

The vehicle achieved a clean pass during its most recent inspection on 13 January 2026 at 110,733 miles, confirming immediate roadworthiness. Maintenance appears reactive rather than proactive, evidenced by the failure on 9 December 2025 at 107,185 miles caused by both offside front and rear tyre tread depths falling below the 1.6mm legal limit. The owner rectified these critical defects immediately to secure a pass the same day. Aside from this tyre-related lapse, the mechanical record shows a stable trend with no other defects logged across the available history. Usage intensity is exceptionally high for an eight-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 77,182 miles in January 2025 to 110,733 miles by January 2026, accumulating nearly 33,500 miles in a single twelve-month period. This heavy utilisation rate places significant demand on consumable components. The record shows consistent testing intervals without significant gaps, confirming the vehicle has remained in active service rather than standing idle. Given the recent tyre failure and rapid mileage accrual, a physical inspection should prioritise the condition of all four tyres, including the inner edges which often wear faster on high-performance EVs. Inspectors should verify that the replacements fitted in December 2025 are of matching quality and suitable load rating. The suspension and steering components require close examination for wear or play, as such high annual mileage accelerates bush degradation. While the MOT history is largely clean, the sheer distance covered suggests that brake discs and dampers may be nearing the end of their service life despite not yet triggering a test failure.
