2014 Tesla Model S Electricity · RF14 OCB

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate issued on 4 December 2025 at 114,700 miles, valid until December 2026. The maintenance trend is broadly stable but reveals a recurring pattern of suspension wear and tyre degradation that has persisted across multiple test cycles. The most recent test passed with only a minor advisory for the offside rear tyre, yet just two days prior the same car failed on excessively worn and split anti-roll bar bushes at both front corners, accompanied by worn rear suspension arm bushes. This indicates the previous owner addressed the immediate failure items shortly before the pass, but the underlying wear pattern suggests these components have been deteriorating over several years rather than being proactively replaced. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable for a 2014 vehicle. From 62,497 miles in November 2022 to 80,166 miles in November 2023, then 99,629 miles in November 2024, and finally 114,700 miles by December 2025, the car has covered roughly 17,000 to 19,000 miles per year over the last three years. This is slightly above the average annual figure of 9,558 miles implied by the total age and mileage, suggesting the vehicle has seen heavier recent use. No significant gaps appear in the MOT record, with annual tests filed consistently each November or December, providing a reliable chronological service history. A buyer should pay close attention to the front and rear suspension components during any physical inspection. The 2024 test flagged slight play in both front lower suspension arm ball joints, while the 2023 test noted worn front and rear arm bushes. The December 2025 failure on split and leaking anti-roll bar bushes at both front corners confirms this area remains a weak point. Although these were rectified for the subsequent pass, the cumulative record suggests the suspension bushes and ball joints are wearing faster than expected and may require replacement again soon. Uneven tyre wear appears repeatedly across all four corners, particularly on the inner edges, which points to possible tracking misalignment or worn suspension geometry components that have not been permanently corrected. The braking system shows moderate wear but no critical defects. Front brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in 2023, and front brake discs were noted as worn in 2022, though not excessively. No brake-related advisories or failures have appeared in the two most recent tests, suggesting these components were replaced or remain within acceptable limits. The rear tyres have been a persistent advisory item across four consecutive tests, with the offside rear showing sidewall damage in 2023. This recurring attention to rear tyre condition, combined with the suspension wear pattern, warrants a thorough check of rear alignment and suspension bush integrity before purchase.
