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

The 2017 Tesla Model S shows a stable maintenance trend with a clean pass at its most recent DVSA test on 8 May 2025 at 91,968 miles, recording no defects. That examination is now over fourteen months old relative to today's date of 14 July 2026, meaning the vehicle would require a fresh MOT to remain road legal if no later test has been entered. Across five consecutive annual tests from April 2021, the car cleared each with zero advisories, confirming consistent upkeep. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows 42,529 miles at the 17 April 2021 test, rising to 57,677 by 28 April 2022, 71,319 on 4 May 2023, 81,295 on 9 May 2024, and 91,968 on 8 May 2025. This equates to roughly 10,000 miles per year, with no erratic jumps or prolonged dormancy gaps. The sparse but unbroken sequence of passes suggests the previous keeper adhered to scheduled testing and likely addressed latent wear before each examination. No recurring faults, suspension bushes, binding calipers, brake disc wear or structural corrosion appear in the official history. The absence of advisories points to diligent owner care rather than deferred maintenance. Still, a buyer should commission an independent inspection of the suspension arms, coil springs and brake components, as MOT snapshots may miss intermittent faults that develop between tests. Given the electric drivetrain, traditional exhaust emissions checks are irrelevant, but structural integrity around battery enclosures and chassis mounting points warrants visual verification for rust or impact damage. Tyre tread and wiper condition should be confirmed despite no prior flags. The clean record provides strong assurance, yet physical verification remains prudent before purchase.
