2014 Tesla Model S Electric · RE14 WRA

The most recent MOT in May 2026 resulted in a pass, but only after an initial failure due to insufficient tread depth on both front tyres and thinning rear brake pads. There is a clear and recurring pattern of wear concerning the braking system. The vehicle has a history of issues with brake pads being thin across both the front and rear, as well as previously recorded failures involving rusted and pitted front brake discs. This indicates a trend of increasing maintenance requirements for consumables, moving from a clean record in late 2023 to multiple failures related to wear and tear in more recent inspections. The mileage of approximately 86,904 over 12 years is typical for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 7,242 miles per year. This suggests that the wear seen on the brakes and tyres is consistent with regular, moderate use rather than extreme high mileage or long periods of neglect. When inspecting the car in person, your first priority should be to check the remaining life of the brake pads and the surface condition of the brake discs to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. You should also thoroughly inspect the tread depth and overall condition of all four tyres.
