2021 TESLA MODEL 3 LONG RANGE AWDELECTRICITY

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 10 November 2025 at 93,307 miles with zero defects recorded. The most recent test demonstrates that all previously flagged items have been rectified, and no new advisories or failures were identified. This outcome suggests attentive ownership in the lead-up to the 2025 test, with no evidence of recurring mechanical or structural deterioration at that point. The mileage accumulation pattern is notably uneven. Between the December 2024 test at 64,826 miles and the November 2025 test at 93,307 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 28,481 miles in just under eleven months. That equates to roughly 2,589 miles per month, or over 31,000 miles per year, which is exceptionally high for a private electric vehicle. Such intensive use places accelerated stress on consumable components, particularly tyres, suspension bushes, brake components, and drivetrain mounts, even though electric powertrains inherently reduce certain wear items such as exhaust systems and clutch assemblies. The December 2024 test flagged both nearside and offside front tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges, indicating either sustained high-mileage driving, suboptimal wheel alignment, or a combination of both. Edge wear specifically points to possible camber misalignment or aggressive cornering under load. Although these tyres were evidently replaced before the 2025 test, a prospective buyer should verify the current tyre condition and request evidence of any alignment work carried out. Uneven or accelerated tyre wear on a high-mileage electric vehicle with instant torque delivery is a common concern and warrants close physical inspection. Beyond tyres, the intensive annual mileage means suspension components, including coil springs, dampers, and bushes, along with brake discs and pads, deserve thorough in-person examination despite the clean 2025 result. High-speed motorway use, which is likely given the vehicle's Long Range specification, can mask intermittent faults that only manifest under specific load or temperature conditions. A pre-purchase inspection should include a road test covering varied speeds and surfaces, a check for any dashboard warnings, and verification of battery health through Tesla's onboard diagnostics. The MOT record is reassuring but cannot substitute for hands-on assessment of a vehicle subjected to such demanding usage.
