2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · AF72 XGG

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 23 July 2026 with no defects recorded. This follows a previous clean pass in November 2025, indicating that the overall maintenance trend is exceptionally stable. The absence of any recorded failures or advisories suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and currently meets all DVSA roadworthiness requirements without the need for immediate remedial work. With a recorded mileage of 16,083 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 4,021 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the typical UK annual average, implying minimal wear on the drivetrain and interior components. While low mileage is generally positive, it can also indicate periods of prolonged inactivity, which introduces specific mechanical risks related to standing rather than active wear and tear. Given the clean MOT history and low usage profile, a prospective buyer should focus on age-related degradation. It is essential to inspect the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or ozone cracking, as rubber compounds can harden and lose grip over time regardless of tread depth. Particular attention must be paid to the braking system; low-mileage electric vehicles are susceptible to binding calipers or surface corrosion on the brake discs due to infrequent use. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for grinding noises and feel for any shudder or pulsations in the brake pedal that would indicate pitted or warped discs. Further inspection should cover the health of the 12V auxiliary battery, which can degrade if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. While the high-voltage battery handles propulsion, a failing 12V battery can cause erratic electronic faults. Additionally, the buyer should verify the service records for calendar-based maintenance, specifically the replacement of cabin air filters and the checking of brake fluid moisture levels, as these fluids degrade over time. Finally, a visual check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is recommended to ensure no rubber perishability or corrosion has occurred during the vehicle's period of low use.
