2014 Tesla Model S Electricity · RF14 OCN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of deferred consumable replacement. The most recent test conducted in June 2024 at 179,321 miles shows the car passing despite multiple advisories regarding lighting, perished tyres, and brake hardware. While the vehicle passes, the recurring nature of these faults suggests that the owner typically addresses issues only when prompted by an MOT failure rather than following a proactive service schedule. At 179,321 miles, this vehicle has covered significantly more ground than its peers, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per year. A notable surge in usage occurred between June 2023 and June 2024, where the car clocked 40,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation places immense stress on high-wear components, particularly the suspension bushings and the drivetrain assembly. The record shows the last MOT is now two years old, meaning the vehicle has likely travelled a significant distance since its last official safety inspection. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as pitted and scored discs have been flagged in almost every test since 2021. The transition from discs worn to the legal limit in 2023 to perished and cracked tyres in 2024 indicates that rubber components are reaching the end of their functional life simultaneously. The persistent failure of the stop lamps across multiple years also suggests an underlying wiring issue or a poor-quality bulb replacement that has not been properly rectified beyond a simple bulb change. Given the high mileage and the history of uneven tyre wear, the suspension geometry should be checked for signs of misalignment or control arm bushing fatigue. The previous advisories for tyres worn on the edge point toward worn shock absorbers or incorrect alignment settings. Special attention should also be paid to the washer system and exterior lighting seals, as these were specific points of failure in the 2021 test.
