2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electric · AF23 WOR

A spotless MOT record to date indicates that the Model Y has presented no detectable safety or emissions issues during its first statutory test, and the absence of any advisory or failure suggests that, at least up to October 2025, the vehicle’s core systems were deemed compliant with DVSA standards. This clean outcome, combined with the lack of any recorded defects, points to a baseline of roadworthiness that has not yet shown any recurring problem areas. At just over 32,000 miles after roughly three years of ownership, the annual accumulation sits near 10,700 miles per year, which aligns with average private‑use patterns for a contemporary electric SUV. The mileage figure is consistent with the single MOT entry, as the vehicle would not have required testing before its three‑year anniversary; therefore there are no gaps in the testing chronology to interpret. Mechanically, this level of use places moderate demand on wear items such as tyre tread, brake pads and regenerative‑braking components, while the high‑voltage battery will have experienced a proportionate number of charge cycles. When you inspect the car, focus on tyre condition – verify tread depth across the width and look for any cupping or sidewall damage that could hint at suspension irregularities. During a low‑speed test drive, listen for any clunk, knock or squeak when traversing potholes or speed bumps, which would reveal worn bushings, ball joints or control‑arm components that are not captured by an MOT unless they exceed safety limits. Pay attention to pedal feel; a pulsating or spongy brake pedal may signal uneven pad wear or disc surface issues, even though the MOT did not flag a failure. Check the steering column for any pull to one side or vibration, and inspect the under‑body for signs of corrosion around the battery pack mounting points, especially if the car has spent extended periods stationary. Finally, confirm that all EV‑specific alerts are clear on the instrument cluster – any persistent warning symbols for battery health, charging system or traction control should be investigated further. Verify that the charging port and cable connectors are free of debris and exhibit secure mating, and consider a diagnostic read‑out of the high‑voltage battery’s state of health to ensure that capacity remains within expected limits for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A thorough independent EV inspection will complement the clean MOT history and give you confidence in the car’s overall mechanical condition before purchase.
