Tesla Model S Perform Ludicrous AWD (2019)
2019 Tesla Model S Perform Ludicrous AWD
CarHunch analysed 172 real MOT records for the 2019 Tesla Model S Perform Ludicrous AWD. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Tesla Model S Perform Ludicrous AWD has an 85% first-time pass rate, which edges past the UK average of 80%, suggesting solid baseline reliability—though the 32% of vehicles that have recorded a dangerous defect at some point is a meaningful concern for safety-conscious buyers. This isn't a vehicle to overlook on reliability grounds alone, but it does warrant a pre-purchase inspection focused on brake systems and structural integrity.
At 45,442 miles average, these cars are running relatively light for their age, which supports their above-average pass rate, yet they're still accumulating 0.77 failures and 3.6 advisories per test on average. The combination of high advisory counts alongside a moderate dangerous defect history suggests these Teslas need proactive maintenance on non-critical systems—plan for regular servicing and check the battery management and cooling systems specifically before committing to a purchase.
