2022 Tesla Model 3 Electric · AF72 VRR

High-intensity usage defines this vehicle's history, characterized by a significant annual mileage accumulation that contrasts with a relatively clean recent inspection record. While the latest MOT on 2026-04-20 shows no recorded defects, the overall trend demonstrates a vehicle that has been consistently in operation without major structural or mechanical failures appearing in the official DVSA data. The absence of defects in the three most recent tests suggests that the components required for roadworthiness have remained within legal parameters despite the heavy usage profile. The recorded mileage of 114,511 miles against a four-year age profile indicates an average annual travel distance of approximately 28,628 miles. This represents a high-use pattern significantly above the UK average for this vehicle age. Mechanically, such consistent and high-volume mileage typically accelerates the wear cycles of consumable components and chassis elements. While the MOT history does not show failures in the drivetrain or structural integrity, the frequency of use places higher demand on suspension bushings, control arms, and braking systems, which are subject to constant thermal and mechanical stress. A specific point of interest in the recorded history is the advisory issued on 2024-10-25 regarding front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. This specific advisory points toward potential alignment issues or uneven load distribution. During a test drive, it is essential to monitor for any steering pull to one side or a wandering sensation at motorway speeds, which could indicate that the suspension geometry or wheel alignment has not been correctly addressed following that advisory. Additionally, any vibration felt through the steering wheel or a rhythmic thumping sound from the front axle should be investigated as potential indicators of uneven tyre wear or compromised suspension components. Given the high mileage, particular attention should be paid to the condition of the braking system and suspension linkages. Although no specific brake defects were flagged, the high frequency of use warrants a close inspection for any signs of binding calipers or uneven disc wear. On the road, listen for any knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which may suggest wear in the suspension bushes or coil springs. Checking the integrity of the tyre tread and ensuring even wear across the entire width of the tyre will confirm whether the issues noted in the 2024 advisory have been resolved through proper maintenance and alignment.
