2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electricity · AF22 OGL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 24,521 miles shows the vehicle passed only after addressing failures related to lighting and multiple suspension components. While the headlamp aim was corrected, the recurring presence of worn brake components and suspension bushes across multiple tests suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults when they reached the MOT failure threshold rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 24,521 miles over a four-year period, this Model Y has been used at an average rate of approximately 6,130 miles per year, which is consistent with low-average usage. The gap between the January 2025 test at 18,703 miles and the January 2026 test shows an accumulation of 5,718 miles. Despite this low mileage, the vehicle exhibits premature wear on consumables and hardware, which may indicate harsh driving conditions or long periods of inactivity between services. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the nearside and offside rear upper suspension arm bushes, which were flagged as worn in both 2025 and 2026. The tester noted the nearside bush was close to excessive movement in the latest test, indicating that the degradation is progressing and will soon require replacement. Furthermore, the brake system requires attention, as the consistent reporting of pitting and scoring on both front and rear discs since 18,703 miles suggests corrosion, likely due to the regenerative braking habits typical of electric vehicles. The tyre history also shows a trend of poor management, with multiple entries for cuts, sidew damage, and uneven wear across all axles. The buyer should verify that the current set of tyres has sufficient depth and structural integrity, as the previous sets frequently operated at or near the legal limit. The recurring nature of the suspension and brake issues suggests that the vehicle may require significant mechanical investment in the near future to maintain its roadworthiness status.
