2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electricity · AF22 XLS

The latest MOT test conducted on 30 March 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean pass in February 2025, indicating a highly stable maintenance trend. The absence of any recorded failures or advisory items suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained and has not exhibited any immediate issues regarding its structural integrity, lighting, or safety-critical components during the recent inspection cycles. The recorded mileage of 36,120 miles over approximately four years equates to an average annual usage of roughly 9,030 miles. This level of mileage is considered typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests consistent, moderate use. Mechanically, this usage profile is ideal as it avoids the extreme wear associated with high-mileage commercial use while also avoiding the potential issues caused by excessive periods of standing, such as fluid degradation or brake seizure. The drivetrain and high-voltage battery components should be in a healthy state, provided the vehicle has adhered to its scheduled maintenance requirements. As the MOT history is entirely clean, your physical inspection should focus on age-related wear and environmental factors rather than documented defects. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of sidewall perishing or cracking, which can occur even if the tread depth remains high. You should also inspect the brake discs for excessive corrosion or pitting, particularly if the car has been used primarily for short trips, and listen for any signs of binding calipers or unusual noises from the suspension bushes and dampers during the test drive. Finally, ensure that the vehicle's service history confirms that time-based maintenance has been performed. In electric vehicles, components like brake fluid and cabin filters require replacement based on the calendar year rather than just mileage. Check the condition of the suspension bushings and control arms for any signs of tearing or play, and verify that the 12V battery and high-voltage cooling systems have been monitored. A thorough check of the service book for manufacturer-stamped intervals will provide the necessary assurance that the vehicle has been cared for beyond the basic requirements of the annual MOT test.
