2015 Tesla Model S Electricity · OC02 ACE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in April 2026 at 145,727 miles passed, yet it introduced new mechanical concerns regarding pitted rear brake discs and a persistent TPMS fault. While the vehicle successfully rectified a critical SRS system failure from early 2024, the recurring nature of minor defects like lighting and glass damage suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they threaten an MOT pass result. At 11 years old with over 145,000 miles, this Tesla has covered an average of approximately 13,200 miles per year. This indicates consistent, high usage, particularly in the interval between March 2025 and April 2026, where the car clocked over 12,400 miles in just 13 months. This high rate of accumulation puts significant strain on heavy-duty components typical of electric vehicles. The 2025 advisory regarding front tyres at the 1.6mm legal limit confirms that consumables are being run to the absolute end of their life before replacement is considered. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension. The record shows a history of thin front pads and scored rear discs, which often points to uneven wear on calipers and rotors. The persistent TPMS light requires a diagnostic check to rule out a faulty sensor or a slow leak that has gone unnoticed. Given the high mileage and the age of the vehicle, the control arm bushings and dampers should be inspected for tearing or play, as these are common failure points on this model at such high distances. Additionally, the repeated windscreen damage should be evaluated for cracks that may eventually compromise the structural integrity of the glass over time.
