2017 Tesla Model S Electric · R888 JEC

A pattern of consistent roadworthiness is evident through the recent history of this vehicle, which has progressed from several tyre-related advisories to a clean record in its most recent tests on 06 July 2026 and 19 February 2026. While the earlier years of the MOT history between 2022 and 2024 featured recurring advisories regarding cuts and edge wear on the offside front and nearside rear tyres, the absence of any recorded defects or advisories in the two most recent inspections indicates a period of stability in the vehicle's mechanical presentation. The recorded mileage of 30,466 miles for a 2017 registration represents a low annual accumulation rate of approximately 3,385 miles per year. This usage profile suggests the vehicle has been driven significantly less than the UK average, which can mean less mechanical wear on high-friction components such as braking systems and suspension bushings. However, such low annual mileage can also imply extended periods of inactivity, which necessitates a close inspection of rubber components and seals that may have aged due to time rather than distance. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the tyre condition and alignment, given the historical advisories for cuts and uneven edge wear on the offside front tyre. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or uneven road noise that could indicate irregular tread wear or internal tyre damage, and check for any pulling to one side during straight-line driving which might suggest previous alignment issues. Although the most recent tests show no defects, the history of edge wear warrants a check of the suspension geometry and control arm bushes to ensure there is no play that could cause premature tyre degradation. Given the low mileage and the age of the vehicle, it is also prudent to inspect the condition of the suspension linkages and any rubber weather seals. While the MOT records do not show specific failures in these areas, the low usage pattern means that components may have undergone more thermal cycling and environmental exposure than mechanical wear. On the test drive, pay close attention to any knocks or clunks when traversing speed bumps or uneven surfaces, which would indicate wear in the suspension components, and ensure the steering feels precise and free from vibration.
