2021 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD Electricity · AF71 ECC

This Tesla Model 3 Performance demonstrates a consistent track record of roadworthiness, characterized by a minimal history of defects and a clean pass on its most recent inspection on 11 December 2025. The overall trend is stable, with the only recorded issues being consumable wear related to tyres, which have since been addressed or no longer flag as advisories. With 39,868 miles recorded over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged nearly 8,000 miles per annum. This usage pattern is typical for its age and suggests a balanced duty cycle that avoids the risks associated with both excessive wear from high-mileage commuting and the degradation often found in vehicles left stationary for extended periods. Mechanically, this mileage indicates that the drivetrain and battery have been utilized within normal parameters, though it places the vehicle in a window where primary consumables like tyres and suspension components begin to show expected wear. Given the 2024 advisories regarding offside tyre wear on the edges, particular attention should be paid to the current condition of the tread across all four corners. During a test drive, the vehicle should be monitored for any steering pull or instability, which could indicate lingering wheel alignment issues or uneven camber. Ensure the replacement tyres are of a consistent grade and specification, as the Performance trim is sensitive to tyre quality regarding traction and noise. While the MOT history is largely devoid of structural or mechanical failures, the high-torque nature of the Performance AWD system puts additional stress on the suspension bushes and control arms. Listen for any knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces or during low-speed manoeuvring. Additionally, check for any binding in the brake calipers, as electric vehicles with regenerative braking can occasionally suffer from seized sliders if the friction brakes are underutilised.
