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 70% pass rate and 49,009 miles. The significant mileage discrepancy and high insurance group further complicate its purchase.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage discrepancy: 49,009 miles in June 2019, then 90,029 miles in December 2020, indicating a possible odometer fraud or a significant error.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Suspension arm excessively worn (Dec 2021) — a serious safety failure.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Parking brake efficiency below requirements (Dec 2021) — a critical safety failure.
  • Recurring suspension failures: Multiple suspension arm/ball joint failures (Dec 2021, Dec 2025) — indicates chronic neglect.
  • Recurring brake failures: Multiple brake disc/parking brake failures (Dec 2021, Dec 2022) — suggests systemic issues.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-30 — current roadworthiness certificate.
  • No recent MOT failures — last failure was in December 2021.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory: No sudden spikes or drops after the initial discrepancy.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
