2020 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD Electricity · AD61 LAN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 75,529 miles. The maintenance trend appears to be stabilizing, as the latest test only identified a minor advisory regarding condensation in the nearside rear light unit. This represents a significant improvement over the 2023 record where multiple mechanical and consumable issues were noted, suggesting that the current owner has addressed previous defects over the last three years. The car has covered a significant distance, averaging approximately 12,600 miles per year, which exceeds the national average for a six-year-old vehicle. A notable period of activity occurred between January 2024 and January 2025, where the odometer clocked 13,662 miles in just twelve months. This consistent high use puts accelerated pressure on heavy-duty components and suspension, yet the lack of recorded defects in the 2025 test indicates the vehicle handled the load well during that specific interval. A physical inspection should focus on the nearside front wheel bearing, which was flagged as slightly noisy in early 2024 at 55,015 miles. While it passed subsequent tests, high-frequency driving often causes premature bearing wear in performance-oriented electric vehicles. You should also verify the condition of the brake discs, as the 2023 report noted pitting and scoring on both front and rear axles. Given the high mileage, ensure the rotors have been replaced recently and show no thinning or uneven wear. Tyre condition also requires close attention due to the 2023 advisory for offside rear tyres worn to the legal limit with edge wear. With the current mileage at over 75,000, any original or early-life tyres from that period are likely nearing immediate replacement. The condensation in the rear light unit should be monitored for further moisture ingress which could eventually lead to electrical failure, though it does not pose an immediate risk to roadworthiness.
