2018 Tesla Model S Electricity · MF68 SNK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 August 2025 with 38,378 miles. While the car initially failed on that same day due to the offside front headlamp aim being too high, this was a minor adjustment issue rather than a mechanical or structural failure. The history indicates a generally clean record with no recurring structural defects or serious mechanical faults across the last three years of testing. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over time, moving from 27,652 miles in October 2022 to 38,378 miles by August 2025. This low-frequency usage typically suggests less wear on high-stress components like the electric motors and brake assembly, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to rubber degradation in the suspension or brake caliper corrosion if the vehicle has not been driven regularly. A buyer should pay specific attention to the front suspension geometry, as the October 2024 test at 35,754 miles flagged a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This pattern often indicates an alignment issue or worn control arm bushes which require professional inspection to prevent further premature tyre wear. Additionally, a physical check of the brake discs for surface pitting is advisable given that low-mileage electric vehicles often suffer from oxidation when the rotors are not used frequently enough to clear away rust.
