2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electric · AF22 TTK

A relatively sparse MOT history is the defining characteristic of this 2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD, with only two tests recorded over the four-year life of the vehicle. The most recent examination on 11 March 2026 returned a Pass, but it was accompanied by two advisories concerning the offside front tyre, specifically noting wear close to the legal limit and a slight damage or cracking issue on the same corner. The previous test on 16 March 2025 recorded a clean Pass with no advisories or defects, so the appearance of tyre-related advisories at the most recent inspection represents the first flagged wear items on the MOT record. While no failures or recurring component defects have been recorded, the limited dataset means there is little historical evidence to draw upon regarding long-term wear patterns on suspension, braking, or underbody components. Mileage accumulation sits at 31,523 recorded miles over an approximate four-year span, yielding an annual rate of around 7,881 miles per year, which is broadly in line with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT gap between March 2025 and March 2026 corresponds to roughly one year of use, during which the vehicle covered an appropriate mileage interval without any test failures intervening. This average annual mileage suggests moderate rather than heavy use, which generally allows longer intervals between consumable replacements, though the Model Y's considerable kerb weight means that brake discs, pads, and tyre shoulders remain subject to steady wear regardless. No irregular mileage jumps or prolonged standing periods are evident in the recorded data. For a prospective buyer, the offside front tyre advisories warrant direct attention on inspection. Both wear close to the legal limit and sidewall or tread cracking were flagged on the same corner, which can indicate an alignment issue, a perished tyre compound, or damage from kerbing. On a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or vibration through the steering wheel that could suggest a deformed carcass, and visually inspect the inner and outer shoulders for uneven wear patterns that might point to camber or tracking problems. Given the Model Y's known tendency for rear tyre wear due to its weight distribution and instant torque delivery, it is prudent to measure all four tread depths and check the manufacturing date on the sidewalls, as tyres fitted at production may now be approaching the end of their service life regardless of remaining tread. Underneath the body, the absence of any advisories relating to suspension components, brake pipes, or underbody corrosion is worth noting, but the brevity of the MOT record means these areas have not been formally examined on more than one occasion. On a physical inspection, check the lower control arms and suspension links for any play or knocking, particularly over speed humps and uneven road surfaces, and pay close attention to the rear subframe mounting points for any surface corrosion given the prevalence of road salt exposure. The brake pedal feel should be firm and consistent, with no excessive travel or pulling to one side under heavy braking, and the regenerative braking system should function smoothly without abrupt cut-outs. A four-wheel alignment check and a thorough inspection of the underbody for any oil residue from the drivetrain or reduction gear assemblies would round out a sensible pre-purchase evaluation given the limited MOT history available.
