2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electric · AF23 EUW

The Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass at 42,240 miles on 6 March 2026. The maintenance trend is stable with no advisories or defects logged at the latest test. Prior to this, the vehicle failed the MOT on 25 February 2026 at 41,980 miles, yet the DVSA record shows no defects recorded against that failure, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven stop. At roughly three years old the car shows 42,240 miles, equating to about 14,080 miles per year. That is high for a 2023 battery electric vehicle and points to frequent motorway or business use rather than short urban commuting. The gap between the February failure and March pass covered only 260 miles, so the owner acted quickly to rectify whatever caused the rejection. With just two tests on file the history is sparse, but the clean pass suggests no recurring wear pattern has yet emerged. A buyer should still verify in person why the February 2026 test returned a fail with zero defects noted, as DVLA documentation errors or untaxed status can trigger such outcomes without mechanical cause. Given the elevated annual mileage, inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for early wear even though the March test raised no advisories. Check the 12V battery condition and door corrosion around seams, as these areas often escape MOT scrutiny on younger EVs. The high mileage relative to age implies harder use than typical for the model year. Previous keepers likely covered long distances consistently. No structural or exhaust emission risks appear in the record, but a pre-purchase inspection remains sensible given the unexplained failure entry.
