2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · AF71 DVR

A consistent record of roadworthiness is evident, culminating in a clean pass on 22 August 2026, although the history is interrupted by a dangerous failure in August 2024 regarding offside front tyre tread depth. This single failure stands as the only recorded defect across the vehicle's testing history, with subsequent tests showing no further issues or advisories. The accumulation of 75,077 miles over approximately five years represents a high usage rate of roughly 15,015 miles per annum. Mechanically, this high-mileage profile increases the likelihood of wear on critical consumables and chassis components. In an all-wheel-drive configuration, this typically translates to accelerated degradation of suspension bushings, ball joints, and steering rack components compared to lower-mileage counterparts. Because the vehicle previously failed on a dangerous tyre defect, a comprehensive check of the current tyre depths and wear patterns across all axles is essential. During the test drive, observe whether the vehicle tracks straight or pulls to one side, as uneven wear often stems from misalignment or worn suspension geometry that may not be immediately apparent from the MOT pass certificate. Attention should also be paid to the suspension and braking systems given the high mileage. Listen for knocks or creaks over speed bumps and feel for any vibration or judder through the brake pedal during deceleration. While the DVSA records show no current advisories for the suspension arms or brake discs, the physical wear associated with 75,000 miles warrants a close inspection for any play in the linkages or signs of binding calipers.
