Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a broadly roadworthy status following the most recent MOT test on 10 May 2025 at 59,875 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the only blemish being an anomalous failure on the same date at 59,856 miles that also listed no defects. That earlier same-day rejection without noted faults suggests an administrative or non-mechanical cause rather than a worsening condition. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a five-year-old vehicle. The record shows 44,551 miles at the 10 May 2024 test and 59,875 miles one year later, equating to roughly 15,324 miles covered in that interval, slightly above the implied annual average of 11,975. Sparse testing data limits deep trend analysis, yet the clean pass in 2024 and the eventual 2025 pass indicate no flagged wear across consumables or major systems during those checks. The unexplained fail at 59,856 miles remains the sole irregularity. A buyer should physically verify the reason behind the 10 May 2025 failure, as DVSA records show no defects yet a rejected certificate. Inspect brake discs, calipers, suspension bushes and structural mounting points for any hidden corrosion or fatigue not captured in the online summary. Although the Tesla's electric drivetrain reduces certain engine-related risks, the tester's silence on tyres, wipers and exhaust emissions does not exempt a hands-on check of tyre tread depth and suspension articulation. Given the limited history, commission an independent inspection before purchase. Focus on underbody structural integrity and high-voltage component housing, since MOT tests on EVs often omit powertrain detail. The prior owner maintained a consistent annual test pattern, but the gap between the two 2025 entries warrants documentary evidence from the seller.
