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 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 41,724 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of wear suggests significant upcoming maintenance costs.
The vehicle exhibits high annual usage, averaging 14,309 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with consistent readings from 41,724 miles in March 2021 to 116,985 miles in March 2026.
Things to check
- High annual mileage (14,309 mi/yr) for an 8-year-old car indicates heavy use.
- Suspension arm ball joint dust cover failed on Mar 2026, a recurring advisory since Mar 2022.
- Service brake excessively fluctuating failed on Mar 2021, with recurring advisories through Apr 2023.
- Tyre advisories are recurring across multiple tests (Mar 2022, Apr 2023, Mar 2025, Mar 2026).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until April 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
- All major failures (suspension, brakes) were addressed and passed subsequent retests.
- Consistent annual mileage increases, no suspicious drops or inconsistencies.
