2017 Tesla Model S Electricity · XY11 BAM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than' servicing. The most recent test on December 8, 2025, at 97,911 miles, passed following a failure just three days prior. The advisories noted during this test—specifically the pitted and scored rear brake discs, play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, and a worn offside front tyre—indicate that several mechanical issues were only addressed once they approached the failure threshold. With a recorded mileage of 97,911 miles over nine years, the car averages an annual run of approximately 10,879 miles. This figure is consistent with typical UK usage patterns for its age. There is a notable gap of over 23,000 miles between the November 2023 test (74,119 miles) and the December 2024 test (81,698 miles). This interval suggests consistent use over the last two years, which places expected strain on heavy components like the suspension and braking system. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and front suspension. The history reveals a recurring issue with rear brake discs becoming pitted and scored, which appeared in 2023, 2024, and 2025. This often suggests corrosion from lack of use or regenerative braking common in electric vehicles. Furthermore, the flagged play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint at 97,911 miles indicates that suspension components are beginning to fatigue. The buyer should check all bushes and shock dampers for wear to ensure no further deterioration exists beyond the single ball joint noted by the tester.
