2014 Tesla Model S Electric · W55 ABU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in its most recent May 2026 test at 124,343 miles. The maintenance trend appears improving, as the car has gone without recorded defects in the last two consecutive inspections. The previous failure in 2023 regarding non-conforming registration plates was a minor presentation issue that does not indicate mechanical or structural neglect. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per year. Between the June 2024 test at 110,469 miles and the May 2026 test at 124,343 miles, the car covered roughly 14,000 miles. This regular interval suggests consistent operation which often helps prevent issues associated with vehicles sitting for long periods, though it does accelerate the wear on rubber components and suspension bushings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the offside rear suspension and tyres, as the June 2025 test at 117,627 miles noted a tyre worn on the edge near the legal limit. This specific pattern often indicates alignment issues or worn control arm bushings that should be verified. Given the age and the weight of the Model S, a thorough check of the lower wishbones and the condition of brake calipers is necessary, as these are common points of wear on high-mileage electric vehicles regardless of a clean MOT history.
