2017 Tesla Model X Electric · ML67 BTO

An unusually low usage profile defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT passed on 09/12/2021 showing no recorded defects. While the testing history is sparse, the recorded trend shows a transition from tyre-related advisories in 2020 to a clean certificate in the subsequent inspection. This suggests that while consumable components like tyres required attention during the 2020 test, the mechanical state of the vehicle was recorded as meeting minimum standards by the end of 2021. The recorded mileage of 17,638 miles for a 2017 registration indicates an average annual accumulation of approximately 1,960 miles. This level of usage is significantly lower than the UK average and suggests the vehicle has spent considerable periods stationary or has been used very sparingly for short distances. From a mechanical perspective, such low mileage means that primary drivetrain components and structural elements may have minimal wear, but it also increases the likelihood of components such as tyres, suspension bushings, and braking systems being affected by age and infrequent movement rather than high-mileage attrition. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the tyre condition, given the advisories for both nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit in the 2020 inspection. Even if the current tread depth appears sufficient, the low annual mileage increases the risk of age-related degradation such as sidewall cracking or perishing. During a test drive, listen for uneven road noise or vibrations through the steering wheel, which could indicate uneven tread wear or structural issues with the tyre carcasses resulting from long periods of standing. Focus should also be directed toward the suspension and steering components to ensure that the infrequent use has not led to seized components or perished rubber bushes. While no specific suspension defects were flagged, the low-mileage profile warrants a physical inspection of the control arms and bushings for signs of cracking. On the road, monitor the vehicle for any pulling to one side or a wandering sensation through the steering, and listen for any knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces, which would indicate wear in the suspension linkages.
