2018 Tesla Model S Electric · SS18 MSM

The latest MOT test conducted on 08 April 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The overall maintenance trend appears stable and consistent, showing a history of compliance with minimal interruption. The only recorded failure occurred in June 2024, which was a minor issue regarding insufficient windscreen washer fluid delivery, a common and easily rectified fault. Aside from this, the vehicle has maintained a clean record across multiple years, suggesting that the mechanical integrity of the vehicle has been well-managed. The recorded mileage of 104,094 miles indicates an average annual usage of approximately 13,000 miles. This is a relatively high usage profile for an eight-year-old vehicle, implying that the car has been used regularly for commuting or long-distance travel. While higher mileage typically correlates with increased wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension components, it also suggests the vehicle has not suffered from the potential issues associated with long periods of standing, such as fluid stagnation or battery degradation from inactivity. Given the clean MOT history and high mileage, a prospective buyer should focus their inspection on mechanical wear and tear typical of this usage level. During a test drive, pay close attention to the suspension for any signs of deterioration, such as clunks or knocks over uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn suspension bushes, dampers, or coil springs. Check the tyres for uneven tread wear, which may signal alignment or steering geometry issues. Although regenerative braking mitigates friction brake wear, you should still inspect the brake discs for heavy corrosion or pitting and ensure there is no evidence of binding calipers or brake shudder during deceleration. Specific attention should also be directed toward the vehicle's electrical and thermal management systems. Verify the health of the 12V auxiliary battery and request any available data regarding the high-voltage battery's state of health and capacity retention. Inspect all rubber components, including door seals and suspension bushings, for signs of perishing or cracking due to age. Finally, check the underside of the vehicle for any signs of leaks from the drive units or coolant systems and confirm that the service history includes regular inspections to support the clean MOT record.
