2017 Tesla Model S Electric · OX02 AAA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward recurring wear-and-tear items. The most recent test in September 2025 at 58,167 miles passed despite ongoing advisories for pitted rear brake discs and cut rear tyres. While these issues did not result in a failure, the persistence of these faults across multiple years suggests that components are now reaching the end of their effective service life. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between the September 2021 and September 2025 tests, the car covered 26,181 miles, indicating steady and light usage. The interval of 6,198 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests reinforces this trend without any sudden spikes in driving habits. This low mileage generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain, though it can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on brake components if the vehicle sits stationary. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear braking system, as the repeated reports of pitting and scoring in both 2024 and 2025 indicate the discs are nearing replacement. The recurring mentions of cut tyres also highlight a need to check sidewall integrity for structural damage beyond surface n. Additionally, while the offside front constant velocity boot was replaced back in 2022 at 39,675 miles, the buyer should verify the remaining boots for signs of tearing or cracking to prevent expensive joint failure.
