AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Tesla has 5 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 60,561 miles. The significant mileage discrepancy and high insurance group further complicate its purchase.
The vehicle shows a high annual usage of 22,280 miles/yr, but a critical 3-year MOT gap (Nov 2021 to Nov 2024) means mileage during this period is unverified, raising serious integrity concerns.
Things to check
- MOT history shows 5 tests with 2 failures and 8 advisories, indicating chronic neglect of critical safety systems.
- Recurring brake system failures and advisories across 4 tests (Nov 2021, Dec 2025) point to a systemic, expensive-to-fix issue.
- Suspension arm and anti-roll bar linkages show escalating wear from Nov 2021 advisory to Dec 2025 major failure.
- A 3-year MOT gap (Nov 2021–Nov 2024) means the vehicle's mileage during this period is completely unverified.
Working in its favour
- No MOT failures recorded for the first 3 years (Jan 2018–Nov 2021), indicating a period of relative mechanical stability.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until December 2026, confirming its current roadworthiness status.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the provided MOT data.
- Tesla vehicles are generally known for their modern electric drivetrain and safety features.
