MV19 MVN MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2019 Tesla Model X (MV19 MVN) between May 2023 and May 2026.
The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.
The most recent test on 05 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (3 issues), Windscreen (1 issue), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 5 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”.

Known faults for Tesla Model X
Our database tracks 5 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Excellent
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution regarding immediate
When inspecting this specific Model X, pay close attention to the tyre condition. The most recent MOT in May 2026 noted the front tyre was worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges, following similar issues with the nearside rear and offside rear tyres in 2025. This pattern of edge wear can sometimes indicate alignment issues or suspension geometry problems.
Additionally, investigate the nearside front upper ball joint, which was noted as 'creaking' during the 2025 MOT. You should verify if this has been replaced or if the creaking persists during a test drive. Finally, ensure the windscreen wipers are functioning perfectly, as this was a recorded failure in 2024, and confirm that the TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) light mentioned in 2025 is no longer illuminated.
As an electric vehicle, fuel costs are determined by your domestic electricity tariff and charging habits, generally proving much lower than petrol or diesel equivalents. Tax for this Model X is subject to current UK EV legislation, and you should check the specific OVR (Original Vehicle Registration) band for exact figures.
Insurance groups for the Model X tend to be higher due to the vehicle's premium positioning and repair costs. Maintenance costs for Teslas often involve fewer moving parts than internal combustion engines, but high-performance tyres—which this vehicle clearly consumes—can be a significant recurring expense. Estimated annual running costs are heavily dependent on mileage and insurance profile.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and tyres. The MOT history specifically flags edge wear on multiple tyres (2025 and 2026) and a creaking nearside front upper ball joint (2025). Inspect the tyre tread depth across all four corners and look for uneven wear patterns that might suggest the need for a professional four-wheel alignment.
Check the electronic systems, specifically the TPMS, as a warning light was recorded in 2025. Also, test the windscreen wiper mechanism to ensure the issue identified in the 2024 failure has been fully rectified. Given the model's aggregate data shows 'suspension arm' as a top failure reason, a thorough check of the lower control arms and bushings is highly recommended.
This 2019 white Tesla Model X has covered 20,596 miles since its first registration in March 2019, which is significantly below the model average of 9,810 miles per year. The MOT history shows a transition from a clean record in 2023 to several advisories and failures in 2025 and 2026, specifically concerning tyres and a ball joint. The vehicle's low mileage is its strongest attribute, but the recent inspection results suggest recent wear patterns that require attention.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 86.2% MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to tyres, road wheel fractures, and suspension arms.

Common Problems: TESLA MODEL X
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Falcon Wing Door Sensors(Moderate)
The complex sensors (ultrasonic and capacitive) in the falcon wing doors can fail, leading to "ghost" obstacle detection where the door stops opening or refuses to open at all.
- Front Half-Shaft Shudder(Moderate)
A shudder or vibration felt through the floor and steering wheel under hard acceleration, caused by excessive wear in the front drive shafts (half-shafts).
- Suspension Creaking & Thumping(Moderate)
Like the Model S, the heavy Model X is prone to premature suspension wear. Front lower control arms and sway bar links are common failure points.
