Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage of 94,044, your primary focus should be on the mechanical integrity of the suspension and the state of the tyres. The most recent MOT in March 2026 flagged issues with three different tyres and a nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint. You should negotiate based on the immediate need for new rubber and potential suspension component replacement.
Request a detailed service history to see how the battery and drive units have been maintained, as MOT records do not reflect the health of these critical electric components. Check for any evidence of uneven tyre wear, which could indicate alignment issues or worn bushings, especially given the recent advisories on multiple tyres.
As an electric vehicle, fuel costs will depend heavily on your charging habits and whether you use home charging or public rapid chargers. Tax and insurance groups for the Model S can vary, but it is generally positioned in a higher bracket due to its performance capabilities.
Maintenance costs for Teslas can be lower than internal combustion engines regarding moving parts, but tyres tend to wear faster due to the vehicle's weight and instant torque. Expect higher-than-average tyre replacement costs. An estimated annual running cost would typically cover electricity, insurance, and periodic maintenance.
Specifically inspect the nearside front lower suspension arm, as the March 2026 MOT noted 'slight play' in the ball joint. This is a known area of interest for this model according to aggregate data. You should also closely examine all four tyres; the recent history shows a recurring pattern of tyres being worn close to the legal limit on various edges.
Check the suspension components for any signs of bushing wear or leaks, and ensure the wheel alignment is correct to prevent the repeat tyre wear seen in the 2024 and 2026 MOT records. Finally, because this vehicle is well above the average annual mileage, inspect the interior for wear and tear consistent with nearly 95,000 miles of use.
This 2019 black Tesla Model S has covered 94,044 miles in approximately seven and a half years, which is significantly higher than the model average of 10,695 miles per year. The MOT history shows a recent trend of advisories regarding tyre wear and a suspension arm ball joint. While it has passed every test since 2022, the increasing frequency of wear-related notes suggests a period of heavy usage.
Aggregate data from 9,533 vehicles shows an 86.3% MOT pass rate, with common issues involving tyres, anti-roll bars, and suspension arms.
