2014 Tesla Model S Electricity · RO64 USV

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 5 November 2025 with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history, the maintenance trend appears generally stable, although the failure recorded just days prior on 31 October 2025 suggests that typical wear and tear components are now reaching the end of their service life. The prompt rectification of the failed items indicates a level of attentiveness to roadworthiness, but the emergence of suspension and lighting faults marks a transition from a clean record to one requiring more active preventative maintenance. With a recorded mileage of 116,530 miles over approximately twelve years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 9,711 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a vehicle of this age and suggests a consistent duty cycle rather than periods of prolonged standing or excessive heavy duty use. Mechanically, this mileage puts the car in a phase where consumables such as suspension bushes, dampers, and auxiliary seals are likely to show age related degradation, though it avoids the extreme wear associated with high mileage fleet vehicles. Particular attention should be paid to the suspension system during a physical inspection and test drive. The recent failure of a nearside rear anti roll bar linkage ball joint indicates that the chassis components are beginning to wear. During the test drive, listen for knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven road surfaces or during low speed cornering, as this often signals further worn linkages or suspension bushes. Additionally, the previous advisory regarding a cut to the offside front tyre sidewall warrants a close inspection of all four tyres to ensure no structural compromises exist and that the rubber has not perished or developed cracks due to age. Given the vehicle age and its nature as an electric vehicle, the buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers. EVs utilize regenerative braking, which often leads to brake discs developing surface corrosion or calipers binding due to underuse. Check for uneven brake pedal feel or a shudder during deceleration. Furthermore, ensure the 12V accessory battery is healthy and that the service history confirms calendar based maintenance, such as cabin filter replacements and brake fluid flushes, which are critical regardless of the mileage covered.
