Model X Long Range Awd: above-average pass rates, with caveats
Across 1,475 MOT tests, the Model X Long Range Awd returns 82.7% first-time pass — above the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is a tyre with the cords showing. A split CV-joint boot and tyre tread under the limit round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 36,083, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through. If you own one and the next test is close, the ranked list below is a sensible pre-test checklist.
