2020 Tesla Model X Performance AWD Electricity · SL20 AAX

A pattern of recurring advisories concerning tyre condition, brake disc surface integrity, and suspension components defines the recent mechanical profile of this vehicle, following its most recent pass on 09 July 2026. While the vehicle has avoided outright failures since 2023, the MOT history shows a progressive increase in the number and variety of advisories, moving from a clean record in 2023 to four distinct advisories in the latest test. This trend indicates that wear-related items are beginning to surface more frequently as the vehicle ages. The recorded mileage of 39,292 miles over approximately six years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 6,549 miles. This usage pattern is relatively low for a vehicle of this age, which typically suggests more localized or infrequent driving rather than high-speed motorway transit. Mechanically, this level of usage means that while drivetrain components may have lower cumulative stress, other elements such as tyres and suspension bushings can be more susceptible to age-related degradation, such as perishing or cracking, due to periods of inactivity or environmental exposure. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyre and braking components flagged in the latest inspection. The records indicate multiple tyres with sidewall damage, cuts, or signs of perishing, alongside front brake discs that are noted as worn, pitted, or scored. During a test drive, you should check for any rhythmic thumping or vibration through the steering wheel at speed, which could indicate tyre irregularities, and listen for any squealing or grinding noises during braking. Furthermore, the presence of a scored brake disc may manifest as a pulsation or judder through the brake pedal when decelerating from higher speeds. The recent advisory regarding slight play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint necessitates a physical inspection of the front end. You should listen for any metallic knocks or clunks when driving over uneven road surfaces or navigating speed bumps, as this is a common symptom of worn suspension linkages. Given the recurring nature of the tyre and brake advisories, a thorough visual inspection of the remaining tread depth and the condition of the sidewalls is essential to determine if a full set of replacements is imminent.
