2022 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electric · AF22 YPN

The Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + currently fails the roadworthiness standard. The most recent test on 20 April 2026 at 223,956 miles returned a failure with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 15 April 2025 at 149,155 miles. The maintenance trend is unstable rather than steadily worsening, yet the latest failure so close to today's date leaves the car legally unroadworthy with no documented fault to explain the rejection. Mileage accumulation on this 2022 car is extreme for its age. The record shows 147,059 miles on 5 April 2025, rising to 149,155 miles by 15 April 2025, then jumping to 223,956 miles by 20 April 2026. That equates to roughly 56,000 miles per year, with over 74,000 miles added in the final twelve months before the failed test. Such high annual use points to heavy commuting or fleet-style operation, which accelerates wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain seals despite the sparse MOT advisories. The April 2025 failure at 147,059 miles and the April 2026 failure at 223,956 miles both logged no defects, which suggests administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than a clean mechanical bill. A buyer should not treat the absent advisories as proof of condition. Given the mileage, the suspension arms, coil springs, and brake calipers warrant physical inspection for binding or corrosion. Prior owners clearly ran the car at distances far beyond typical private use, and the back-to-back failure and pass in April 2025 implies test-centre discrepancies rather than resolved faults. Before purchase, a technician should confirm structural integrity and read live diagnostic codes, since the MOT record alone offers no reliable signal of underlying electrical or mechanical degradation on this high-mileage EV.
