2014 Tesla Model S Electric · RE14 WRJ

The Model S presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 24 April 2026 at 62,412 miles with zero advisories or defects. That is a significant shift from the preceding years, where tyre wear and minor damage were recurring themes. The most recent test confirms the vehicle currently meets all DVSA roadworthiness standards, and the absence of any flagged items suggests either attentive recent ownership or a deliberate pre-test refresh. The mileage accumulation tells a story of light, consistent use. Across its roughly twelve-year lifespan, the car has covered approximately 5,200 miles per year, well below the UK annual average. The recorded intervals show steady progression: 41,102 miles in May 2022, 46,608 in May 2023, 52,542 in April 2024, 57,858 in May 2025, and 62,412 in April 2026. Each annual increment sits between roughly 4,500 and 5,500 miles, with no sudden spikes or suspicious gaps. There is no evidence of long-term storage or odometer anomalies in the data provided. The historical defect pattern is narrow but worth understanding. Tyre-related advisories appeared in three of the five recorded tests. In May 2023 at 46,608 miles, the tester flagged a cut on the offside front inner edge and a worn offside rear tyre. In April 2024 at 52,542 miles, the offside rear tyre was again worn close to the legal limit. The May 2022 test at 41,102 miles noted perishing on the nearside front inner tyre. These are consumable items, not structural or mechanical failures, but their recurrence across different corners of the vehicle suggests previous owners did not rotate tyres proactively or align tracking with sufficient frequency. A prospective buyer should inspect the current tyre set for uneven wear patterns, sidewall condition, and date codes, and verify whether the car has had a four-wheel alignment check recently. Beyond tyres, the record is notably free of suspension, braking, or structural corrosion defects, which is encouraging for a twelve-year-old electric saloon. The low mileage and clean recent pass reduce the likelihood of hidden deterioration, though a physical inspection of suspension bushes, ball joints, and brake components remains prudent given the car's weight and torque characteristics. The battery health and high-voltage system cannot be assessed from MOT data alone, so a specialist diagnostic check is advisable before purchase.
