2017 Tesla Model X Electric · SEE 111A

The 2017 Tesla Model X presents as a fundamentally sound and well-maintained vehicle, with a clear and improving roadworthiness trend culminating in a clean bill of health at its most recent MOT. The November 2025 test at 33,742 miles recorded only minor, easily rectifiable advisories regarding the front tyres and a deteriorated CV boot, a significant contrast to the wiper failure noted in 2022. This progression from a single failure to a test with only minor advisories indicates a conscientious approach to upkeep in recent years, with the vehicle's mechanical integrity remaining stable and free from serious structural or safety-critical defects. The recorded mileage of 33,742 miles over nine years represents exceptionally light use, averaging roughly 3,749 miles per year. The MOT history confirms this low-mileage pattern, with a steady and consistent accumulation of miles: 25,549 in November 2022, 29,254 in November 2023, 31,054 in November 2024, and 33,742 in November 2025. This equates to an average annual mileage of approximately 2,700 miles over the last three years, with no sudden jumps or gaps in the service record to suggest the vehicle has been standing idle for extended periods or subjected to high-stress use. Despite the low mileage, the November 2025 advisories warrant attention. The severely deteriorated nearside front outer CV boot is a critical finding; if left unrepaired, it will lead to joint contamination, vibration, and eventual driveshaft failure. The simultaneous wear on both front tyres, described as worn on both inner and outer edges, is a classic symptom of incorrect wheel alignment, likely toe misalignment, which will rapidly destroy any replacement tyres if not corrected. A buyer should inspect the CV joint play and the condition of the offside CV boot for similar deterioration, and verify that the front suspension geometry has been professionally checked and corrected following the tyre and boot replacement. The absence of any advisories regarding battery health, braking components, or structural corrosion in the MOT record is a positive indicator for an electric vehicle of this age and mileage. However, the low annual mileage and the nature of the 2025 advisories suggest this vehicle may have been used primarily for short urban trips. A prospective buyer should test the battery's state of charge and range under varied driving conditions, inspect the underside for any signs of surface corrosion on suspension components from prolonged standing, and ensure the 12-volt auxiliary battery and HVAC system are functioning correctly, as these are common failure points independent of mileage.
