2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electric · AF22 UCD

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 18 June 2026, but the overall maintenance trend is deteriorating as the volume of advisories has increased over the last twelve months. While the car remains legally roadworthy, the persistence of suspension and brake issues from the previous year, coupled with new tyre defects, suggests a decline in the condition of key consumables and chassis components that requires immediate attention. With a recorded mileage of 50,279 miles over approximately four years, this vehicle has covered an average of 12,570 miles per year. This represents a high annual usage rate for this model, which accelerates the wear and tear on the suspension system, tyre treads, and brake hardware. Prospective buyers should anticipate that several high-wear components are approaching the end of their primary service life significantly sooner than would be expected for a lower-mileage example. Particular attention must be paid to the braking system and suspension. The MOT history shows recurring advisories for pitted and scored brake discs both front and rear. While regenerative braking often reduces physical pad wear, it can lead to surface corrosion and pitting on the discs if they are not used frequently or aggressively. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any shuddering through the brake pedal or audible grinding. Furthermore, the offside rear upper suspension arm bush has been flagged for two consecutive years, indicating a progressive failure. Listen for knocks or clunks when traversing uneven road surfaces or during low-speed manoeuvres. The most recent inspection also highlighted immediate concerns regarding the tyre condition, specifically a nail in the nearside front and sidewall damage to the offside front. A thorough physical inspection of all tyre sidewalls is essential to ensure there are no structural bulges or further punctures. Given the high mileage, the buyer should also verify the condition of the cabin air filters and wiper blades, and ensure that any manufacturer-recommended service intervals for the coolant or brake fluid have been adhered to, as these are often overlooked in electric vehicles.
