Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding mechanical wear and tear. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 141,347 miles passed with only a minor advisory for a cut nearside front tyre, this follows a period of increasing technical flags. The progression from clean records to specific mechanical defects suggests that the high mileage is beginning to manifest in the major components of the vehicle. At 141,347 miles over eight years, this Model X has covered significantly more ground than average, averaging approximately 17,700 miles per annum. The data shows consistent and rapid mileage accumulation, with 23,000 miles recorded between April 2022 and April 2023, and another 7,800 miles in the following year. This high level of constant use typically places a heavy demand on the air suspension system and braking hardware, which is reflected in the defects noted during the later MOT appointments. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the steering system, as the 2024 test flagged slight free play in the steering rack at 128,417 miles. This issue often indicates internal component wear or bushing failure that can become costly to rectify on electric vehicles. Furthermore, the 2025 advisory regarding thin rear brake pads on both sides suggests the braking system is reaching the end of its service interval. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushings and the air strut integrity is essential to ensure that the high-use profile has not compromised the structural stability of the chassis.
