TESLA MODEL 3 LONG RANGE AWD2021 · Electric

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-02 at 73,330 miles confirmed roadworthiness with no defects recorded. The prior test in 2024-12-03 at 58,549 miles also showed no issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past 12 months. No advisories or critical failures were noted in either assessment, suggesting the owner has maintained the vehicle to meet legal standards. However, the absence of recorded defects does not guarantee absence of underlying wear, particularly given the high annual mileage. The car’s mileage of 73,330 miles at 5 years old equates to approximately 14,666 miles per year, exceeding typical usage for its age. The 14,781-mile increase between the 2024 and 2025 MOTs occurred over 12 months, reflecting consistent use. No significant gaps in testing are evident, as the MOTs were conducted annually. While the records are sparse, the lack of defects in two consecutive tests suggests no immediate mechanical failures. However, high mileage may accelerate wear on components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain elements, which are not assessed in standard MOTs. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of accelerated wear on high-mileage components, including brake system corrosion, suspension bushing degradation, and drivetrain alignment. The absence of MOT advisories does not preclude minor issues like uneven tyre tread or exhaust system corrosion, which may require closer examination. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, verifying service history for brake fluid changes, suspension component replacements, and battery health (for the electric drivetrain) would provide further clarity on its mechanical condition.
