2014 Tesla Model S Electricity · RJ14 YNX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, holding a clean pass certificate dated 6 December 2025 at 63,735 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend over the past five years is broadly stable, though the record reveals a notable event just two days prior to that clean result. On 4 December 2025 at 63,731 miles, the car failed with critically worn brake pads on all four corners, both front and rear below the 1.5 mm minimum threshold. The subsequent pass two days later indicates the pads were replaced promptly, which is a positive response, but it also suggests the braking system had been allowed to deteriorate to a point of failure rather than being addressed proactively during routine servicing. The mileage profile tells an unusual story for a 2014 vehicle. At roughly 5,311 miles per year, annual usage sits well below the UK average of around 7,000 to 8,000 miles. More striking is the near-stagnation between January 2023 and December 2025. The car covered just 70 miles across the entire two-year span from the 6 January 2023 test at 63,665 miles to the 4 December 2025 test at 63,731 miles. This points to either very light local use or extended periods of inactivity. Such dormancy carries its own risks, including potential brake surface corrosion, tyre flat-spotting, dried-out rubber seals, and stale brake fluid absorbing moisture over time. A buyer should pay particular attention to the braking components during any in-person inspection. The December 2025 failure on all four axles raises questions about the condition of the brake discs and callipers, as pads rarely wear to minimum thickness simultaneously without contributing factors such as sticking calipers or seized slide pins. Check for uneven disc thickness, lipping, and any binding sensation when rotating the wheels by hand. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for perishing or flat-spotting given the extremely low recent mileage, and examine the suspension bushes and dampers for deterioration that can develop from prolonged standing rather than use. The single advisory from January 2023 regarding a non-functioning offside rear position lamp was minor and appears resolved, but verifying all exterior lighting functions correctly remains worthwhile. The battery health and high-voltage system condition, while not directly testable under standard MOT criteria, should be assessed through Tesla's own diagnostic tools given the vehicle's age and the critical role the battery pack plays in structural integrity and value.
