2018 Tesla Model X Electric · LF68 WMU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in September 2024 at 17,954 miles resulted in a pass, yet it noted an insecure rear lower spoiler and offside front wheel-arch moulding secured with tape. This mirrors issues from the 2022 test, indicating a recurring tendency to use temporary fixes for bodywork rather than replacing components. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,244 miles per year. There is a significant gap of over two years between the August 2022 test at 13,041 miles and the September 2024 test at 17,954 miles. While low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension, such long periods of inactivity can lead to brake corrosion, flat spotted tyres, and degradation of rubber seals if the car sits stationary for months on end. A buyer must physically inspect the offside front corner and wheel arches, as the history shows repeated serrated edges and damaged trim components. The 2022 failure for a body component likely to cause injury suggests that the plasticwork may be brittle or poorly fitted. You should also verify the tyre pressure monitoring system is functional, as this was a fault in 2022. Given the low usage, check the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the tyres have not aged or perished out despite having sufficient tread.
