Does the 2014–2015 Tesla Model S P85D have free supercharging?

SC01 free supercharging is possible for this trim. Whether a specific car has it depends on that vehicle: decode the VIN to see the SC code on record, and confirm the current code with the seller before buying. Transfer policy is Tesla's to set and change.

Does the Model S P85D have the LDU coolant seal issue?

Yes. This variant has the Large Drive Unit, so the rotor coolant seal issue applies. Ask whether a coolant delete or Revision U motor has been fitted, and budget for one if not.
