2018 Tesla Model X Electricity · LF68 WMJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in basic consumable management. The most recent test in May 2023 at 35,069 miles flagged the offside rear tyre as worn close to the legal limit and bald on the edge. This follows a pattern seen in October 2022 at 34,753 miles, where three out of four tyres were noted for similar wear. While the vehicle passes without mechanical failure, the recurring tyre advisories suggest a lack of proactive maintenance regarding rubber components. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,384 miles per year. There is a significant data gap between the September 2021 test at 21,892 miles and the October 2022 test, where the car covered 12,861 miles in just thirteen months. This low usage suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or was used sparingly, which can occasionally lead to dry-rot in components like brake seals or fluid degradation despite the low mechanical wear on the odometer. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and alignment, as the repeated edge-wear on the tyres indicates tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the low mileage and age of the vehicle, attention should also be paid to the brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers, as infrequently used electric vehicles often suffer from surface rust. The current state of the tyres requires an immediate replacement, and a professional wheel alignment is necessary to resolve the recurring wear patterns identified in the last two MOT cycles.
