2021 TESLA MODEL 3 LONG RANGE AWDELECTRICITY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on April 18, 2026, 69,500 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the failure recorded just three weeks prior on March 27, 2026, at 67,962 miles is anomalous given that no defects were officially listed. This suggests a potential administrative recording error or a transient issue that was rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical failure or structural weakness. At 69,500 miles over five years, this Model 3 has averaged approximately 13,900 miles annually. This exceeds the typical UK average for private vehicles, indicating consistent high-frequency long-distance use. The rapid accumulation of 1,538 miles between the March and April 2026 tests shows the vehicle remains in active operation. Such high mileage places significant demand on heavy-duty suspension components and the braking system compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension wish control arms and sub bushings, as high-mileage electric vehicles often experience accelerated wear on these rubber components. Despite the recent clean pass, the brake rotors should be checked for deep scoring or uneven wear, as the weight of the battery pack increases stress on the friction material. Checking the underbody for any signs of impact to the battery casing is also essential to ensure the high mileage has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis.
