Tesla Model X (2019)
2019 Tesla Model X
CarHunch analysed 593 real MOT records for the 2019 Tesla Model X. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Tesla Model X passes its MOT first time at 86.9%, which is a solid 6.9 percentage points above the UK average, suggesting better-than-typical reliability. However, 36.1% of these vehicles have recorded at least one dangerous defect during their MOT history—a material concern for a premium electric vehicle at this price point.
At a median of 41,687 miles for a five-year-old car, these Model Xs are running below typical mileage expectations, which partly explains the good pass rate. The average of 0.69 failures per vehicle is low, but high advisory rates (4.6 per vehicle) indicate that while nothing critical usually fails, minor wear and electrical gremlins are common—budget for regular small repairs and have any pre-purchase inspection focus on the battery management and charging system.
What to check before buying a 2019 Tesla Model X
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 36.1% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
