2014 Tesla Model S Electricity · RE14 WRV

The 2014 Tesla Model S presents a stable and improving roadworthiness trend, culminating in a clean pass on 12 June 2026 at 32,913 miles. The sole advisory raised during that most recent test was a Nearside Rear Tyre worn close to legal limit, measuring 3mm and worn on edge. This is a minor consumable wear item rather than a structural or mechanical defect. No other faults, including any relating to corrosion, suspension, braking, or structural integrity, have been flagged across the entire five-test history spanning from September 2022 to June 2026. The absence of recurring or escalating defects indicates consistent baseline maintenance and no emerging mechanical deterioration. The mileage pattern reveals a notable acceleration in recent use. Between September 2023 at 17,854 miles and June 2026 at 32,913 miles, the vehicle accumulated approximately 15,059 miles in under three years, averaging roughly 5,000 miles per annum during that window. This is a significant shift from the earlier period, where the annual average sat closer to 2,743 miles across the vehicle's full twelve-year lifespan. The jump in annual mileage suggests the car has transitioned from light, sporadic use to more regular daily driving. While this reduces concerns about long-term standing damage such as seized brakes or perished seals, it does mean consumable components like tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes are now experiencing wear rates more typical of an actively used vehicle. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the rear axle and drivetrain. The recurring advisory on the nearside rear tyre points to a possible alignment or camber issue specific to that corner, which warrants a thorough check of the rear suspension bushes, control arms, and any uneven wear patterns on the inner tyre sidewall. Given the vehicle's electric powertrain and instant torque delivery, inspect the rear brake calipers for signs of sticking and examine the brake discs for lipping or scoring, as regenerative braking systems can sometimes mask developing friction brake faults. The battery pack and underbody should be examined carefully for any signs of corrosion, stone damage, or compromised structural shielding, particularly given the increased mileage and the potential for more varied road use in recent years. A diagnostic scan of the battery management system and drive unit error logs would also be prudent to verify the health of the high-voltage components.
