AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Tesla has 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 48,095 miles. The recurring advisories for suspension and steering components, combined with the high insurance group, make this a high-risk purchase.
The mileage trajectory shows a consistent increase, but a significant anomaly: 48,095 miles in Dec 2020, then 121,633 miles in Oct 2025, with a 26,762-mile jump in just 10 months before Oct 2025, indicating extremely high recent usage.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre failure on 2022-12-13 (72,307 mi) — immediate safety concern.
- Unusually high mileage jump of 26,762 miles in 10 months before Oct 2025 (121,633 mi).
- Recurring advisories for suspension arm ball joint play (2020-12-04) and steering rack wear (2025-10-27).
- High insurance group (50/50) — extremely expensive to insure.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until 2026-10-27, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No major structural failures recorded in the MOT history.
- Consistent annual mileage increases, despite the recent high jump.
