2016 Tesla Model S Electric · R88 RAR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 February 2026 at 78,431 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. While the record shows a failure just ten miles prior on the same day, the lack of recorded defects on that failure entry suggests either an administrative error or a minor issue that was immediately rectified, rather than a recurring mechanical fault. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. This usage falls within the typical range for a private car, suggesting the drivetrain has not been subjected to excessive stress. Between the April 2023 test at 63,767 miles and the August 2024 test at 70,082 miles, the car covered roughly 6,300 miles, indicating a regular usage cycle that helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals associated with long periods of inactivity. Given the clean inspection history regarding structural and mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear items specific to the Model S platform. A buyer should examine the lower control arms and suspension bushings for signs of tearing or cracking, as these are common wear points at this mileage. The braking system should be checked for binding calipers or uneven pad wear, although the MOT record does not specifically flag these issues in previous tests. Finally, inspecting the chassis and battery-carriage area for any unexpected corrosion will ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the clean digital record.
