2018 Tesla Model X Electricity · MA18 SVR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 70,861 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a specific failure in early 2024, moving into a period of consecutive clean passes. This suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing safety-critical issues before they escalate into further testing failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a modern electric vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year over its eight-year life. The data shows steady accumulation between tests, such as the 7,858 miles covered between March 2025 and April 2026, and another 7,697 miles between the two tests in early 2024. This regularity indicates the car is driven regularly, which helps mitigate the risk of component degradation or brake seizing often associated with long periods of inactivity. The failure in March 2024 at 55,335 miles was caused by an offside rear tyre with exposed cords and a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit. While these issues were rectified to achieve a pass a month later, they highlight a previous lapse in monitoring consumable wear or potential alignment issues. A buyer should inspect the current tyres for uneven wear to ensure the suspension geometry is not stressing the rubber at an accelerated rate. Given the age and mileage of this Model X, an in-person inspection should focus on the air suspension components and control bushings, which are common points of wear on this chassis. Although the MOT record does not flag any structural corrosion or brake issues, the buyer should check for signs of leaking air struts or excessive play in the wish arms. The clean recent history suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, but the high mass of the vehicle makes monitoring mechanical fatigue a priority during a physical evaluation.
