2014 Tesla Model S Electricity · RO64 USV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in November 2025 at 116,530 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the recent failure just five days prior to that pass indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The tester identified a worn nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint, a headlamp aim issue, and insufficient washer fluid, all of which were addressed immediately to achieve the clean result in the most recent test. At 116,530 miles, the car averages approximately 9,700 miles per year over its twelve-year life, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns. The data shows a significant increase in usage between October 2023 and November 2024, where the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles in just thirteen months. This period of higher intensity likely correlates with the wear on the offside front tyre noted in 2024 and the subsequent suspension failure in late 2025, as higher annual mileage puts greater stress on rubber components. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension assembly thoroughly, as the failure of the anti-roll bar linkage suggests that other bushings and ball joints may be nearing the end of their service life. Given the weight of this electric vehicle, checking for signs of excessive play in the control arm bushings is essential. While the 2024 record noted only a minor tyre sidewall cut, the buyer should verify all tyres for similar structural damage or uneven wear that might indicate misalignment. Final inspection of the underbody is also advised to ensure no significant corrosion has developed now the vehicle has surpassed the 110,000-mile mark.
