2014 Tesla Model S Electricity · RE14 WRN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-10-01 at 79,906 miles passed without any defects, confirming it remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. The consistent pass history—with no recurring advisories or failures—suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a baseline level, though the absence of defects does not guarantee hidden issues. The last test was conducted just nine months ago, which is within the acceptable window for a vehicle of this age and mileage, though it does not account for any potential wear between now and the test date. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 6,659 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in service intervals, though the 12-month span between the 2024 and 2025 tests aligns with the legal MOT requirement rather than proactive maintenance. The only minor note in the history—a defective nearside windscreen wiper blade in 2022—was remedied and does not reappear, indicating basic consumable replacements were addressed. Given the lack of recorded defects beyond the windscreen wiper, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components such as the suspension system, including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, given the vehicle’s age. The regenerative braking system and associated cooling components should also be scrutinised, as electric vehicles exhibit unique thermal and mechanical stresses. Additionally, the battery health—while not directly tested in an MOT—should be assessed, particularly for degradation patterns, as Tesla Model S batteries can degrade over time even with low mileage. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and underbody, should be checked, as this is a common failure point in older vehicles. Finally, the integrity of the high-voltage wiring and connectors should be verified, as any damage poses a significant safety risk.
