2017 Tesla Model S Electricity · NOT 944

A consistent track record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the two most recent tests in August 2025 and August 2026 returning no defects or advisories. This follows a June 2024 test that flagged several consumable wear items, suggesting a trend toward a clean bill of health as those specific issues were addressed. With 73,063 miles recorded over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,118 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for its age, meaning the drivetrain and chassis have been subjected to standard wear and tear without the extremes of excessive high-mileage degradation or the risks associated with long-term stagnation. Attention should be directed toward the braking system and tyre condition, specifically referencing the 2024 advisories regarding pitted and scored rear brake discs and worn front tyres. While the subsequent clean tests suggest these may have been rectified, a physical inspection of the rear discs for surface corrosion or scoring remains prudent. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any grinding noises from the rear brakes or feel for pulsations through the brake pedal, which can indicate uneven disc wear. Further scrutiny should be applied to the front tyre tread depth and wear patterns, ensuring they are consistent across the axle. Given the previous flags for edge wear, the vehicle should be monitored for any steering pull or instability at motorway speeds, which could indicate lingering alignment issues. Checking for abnormal tyre wear on the inner or outer shoulders will confirm if the previous issues were merely wear-related or symptomatic of a suspension geometry problem.
