2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electric · AE55 EDS

The Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 3 April 2025 at 23,116 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and clean across the available history, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. A prior failure on 14 March 2025 at 23,054 miles is anomalous, as the tester logged no defects; this suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a component fault, and the vehicle cleared correctly three weeks later. The recorded mileage of 23,116 at the 2025 test equates to roughly 4,623 miles per year since first registration in 2021, confirming very light use for a five-year-old car. Between the 19 April 2024 pass at 18,148 miles and the March 2025 failure at 23,054 miles, the vehicle covered about 4,900 miles in eleven months. The sparse three-entry record shows no rapid accumulation or standing-related gaps beyond the low annual average, and no tyre, brake, or suspension wear items were ever flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs despite the clean MOT trail, as EV weight accelerates unseen wear that testers may miss at low mileage. The unexplained March 2025 failure warrants a check of the DVSA refusal reason to rule out a structural or emissions check error. Given the car's low use, examine the 12V battery health and tyre sidewall condition for perishing from prolonged static periods.
