AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Tesla has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 39,622 miles. While mileage is consistent, the high insurance group and a 2022 service gap warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle exhibits consistent annual mileage averaging 11,855 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a 2022 MOT gap suggests a possible SORN or off-road period.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre failures on 2019-08-06 and 2026-04-04 indicate a history of critical wear.
- Recurring brake pad advisories (Aug 2019) escalated to dangerous failures, suggesting a pattern of wear.
- Major suspension failure (2026-04-04) and advisory (2026-04-04) for offside front suspension arm ball joint.
- High insurance group (50) makes this vehicle very expensive to insure.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-04-07, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,855 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
