2014 Tesla Model S Electric · RF14 XOK

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 28 August 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears stable and improving. While there were several advisories regarding tyre wear and brake condition between 2019 and 2022, the absence of defects in the most recent tests suggests that these issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently being maintained to a satisfactory standard. With a recorded mileage of 121,074 miles over approximately twelve years, the vehicle has averaged around 10,000 miles per year. This represents typical usage for a long-distance cruiser and suggests a consistent duty cycle rather than periods of prolonged standing. At this mileage, the buyer should expect normal wear on high-stress components, specifically the suspension bushings and steering rack, as well as the natural degradation of the high-voltage battery capacity associated with a vehicle of this vintage. Particular attention should be paid to the vehicle's wheel alignment and tyre condition. The 2022 records indicate significant inner edge wear across all four tyres, which is a classic symptom of incorrect tracking or worn suspension components. During a test drive, listen for any abnormal road noise or steering drift. Inspect the current tyres for uneven wear patterns and ensure the tread depth is consistent across the width of the tyre to confirm that the alignment has been professionally corrected. The braking system requires careful scrutiny due to a previous failure for brake efficiency in 2021 and advisories for pitted brake discs. In electric vehicles, the reliance on regenerative braking can lead to brake disc corrosion and binding calipers due to lack of use. During the test drive, feel for any brake shudder or pulsations through the pedal. Additionally, given the previous advisories regarding suspension arm ball joint play, the buyer should listen for clunks or knocks when traversing uneven surfaces or during low-speed manoeuvring.
