2018 Tesla Model S Electricity · LF68 WMD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding tyre condition. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 67,037 miles passed, the tester flagged all four tyres as worn close to the legal limit with significant edge wear. This mirrors the issues found in January 2025 at 49,481 miles, where the rear pair was noted for similar uneven wear. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 13,210 miles between December 2023 and January 2025, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 17,556 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This recent surge in usage suggests the car has been driven more heavily over the last year, which likely explains the accelerated degradation of consumables and the potential for increased wear on suspension-related components. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension and alignment. The recurring report of uneven edge wear on multiple tyres across 2023, 2025, and 2026 strongly indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn control arm bushings. If these have not been addressed, the vehicle will continue to exhaust tyres prematurely and may affect handling stability. Physical inspection should also verify the functionality of the visibility system. The vehicle failed its test in December 2023 at 38,271 miles due to a non-functional washer pump and ineffective wiper blades. While these were rectified for the subsequent retest, they highlight a history of neglecting basic maintenance items. Checking the brake discs for corrosion or uneven wear is also advisable, as low-mile electric vehicles can sometimes lead to surface rust if the rotors are not used frequently.
