2014 Tesla Model S Electricity · RF64 KNB

The vehicle’s current roadworthiness status is sound, with a fresh pass recorded on 22 May 2026 at 126,838 miles. The maintenance trend over the last three years is broadly stable, but with a recurring pattern of borderline brake wear and minor advisories rather than a clean bill of health. In the most recent test, the tester flagged front and rear brake pads wearing thin on both sides, a nearside rear driveshaft constant velocity boot severely deteriorated, and an inoperative offside rear registration plate lamp. None of these prevented a pass, yet the combination suggests consumable wear is being allowed to approach replacement thresholds between annual tests rather than being addressed proactively. The mileage progression indicates consistent, above-average use for a 2014 model. Recorded mileages climb from 94,090 in May 2023, to 108,632 in May 2024, to 117,374 in May 2025, and finally 126,838 in May 2026, equating to roughly 9,500 to 11,300 miles per year. There are no obvious gaps or sudden jumps in the data, and the annual test dates align with regular yearly use. The record is complete enough to show a clear wear pattern, with no long periods of inactivity evident from the supplied entries. Brake wear is the dominant recurring theme. Advisories for thin pads appear in 2024 and again in 2026, with the 2025 test also noting front outer pads wearing thin. This implies the vehicle has been driven in a manner or environment that consumes pads steadily, and that replacements may have been deferred until close to the legal limit. A buyer should inspect front and rear pads and discs in detail, checking for uneven wear, lipping, or heat damage, and confirm whether the recent advisory items have actually been replaced or merely noted. The 2026 advisory for a severely deteriorated nearside rear driveshaft CV boot is more concerning from a mechanical integrity standpoint. A split or perished boot allows grease to escape and contaminants to enter, accelerating joint wear and potentially leading to clicking under load or sudden failure. This should be examined for play, noise, and visible damage to the joint itself. The inoperative rear registration plate lamp is minor but worth verifying, as it may point to a simple bulb failure or a deeper wiring/grounding issue. Given the car’s age and mileage, a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion, suspension bush deterioration, and exhaust condition is advisable, even though the record does not highlight structural defects.
