2016 Tesla Model S Electric · P90 KCW

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT pass following the January 2026 test at 119,693 miles, though the tester noted windscreen damage not obscuring the driver's view. The maintenance trajectory shows a marked improvement after repeated brake and tyre-related failures in late 2025 and early 2026. The January 2026 failure at 119,441 miles flagged critically thin rear brake pads and an inability to test brake performance without deceleration testing, indicating deferred maintenance. This was resolved within ten days, suggesting prompt remedial action. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 11,969 miles annually. The most recent tests span just over a year apart, with no significant gaps in the record. However, the January 2026 failure occurred only 248 miles after the previous pass, implying either a sudden component failure or delayed attention to known issues. The 2024 failure at 96,481 miles cited a cracked alloy wheel and worn front tyres, both resolved by the following year's pass. Buyers should prioritise inspecting the brake system, particularly the rear pads and secondary calipers, given their recent replacement history. The front suspension uprights and wheel bearings warrant close examination, following the earlier advisory on the offside front bearing and the fractured wheel reported in early 2024. A thorough check of the remaining alloy wheels for cracks or prior repairs is advisable, alongside verifying even tyre wear patterns to rule out ongoing alignment or suspension wear.
