2017 Tesla Model S Electricity · MD66 VHB

This 2017 Tesla Model S has covered approximately 11,500 miles per year, which is a typical usage pattern for a vehicle of this age. The history indicates a car that is being driven regularly rather than sitting idle, which is generally a positive sign for battery health and mechanical seals. The MOT history shows a stable trend. While the vehicle passed its most recent test in May 2026 with no recorded defects, the 2024 and 2025 records highlight a recurring pattern of wear. Specifically, the front track control arm bushes were noted as deteriorating in both 2024 and 2025. Although these were not flagged in the 2026 test, it is highly probable that these components have reached the end of their service life and may require replacement soon. The history also shows consistent wear on brake discs and tyres, which is expected given the weight and torque of a Model S. The note regarding a battery warning on the dashboard in 2024 is a point of interest; while the car has since passed two MOTs, you should verify if this was a 12V auxiliary battery issue or a concern related to the main high-voltage pack. The overall condition appears stable, but the suspension components and braking system are the primary areas of concern due to the cumulative mileage. When inspecting the vehicle in person, you should first check the front suspension for any knocking sounds or uneven tyre wear, as this will confirm the status of the previously noted control arm bushes.
