2025 Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD Electricity · AF75 OSP

A prospective buyer of this 2025 Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD should note that there is no DVSA MOT test history available for this vehicle. As a 2025 registered car, it would not yet be due its first MOT until three years after first registration, meaning the vehicle is either too new to have been tested or no test results have been recorded on the DVSA database. In the absence of any recorded pass, fail, or advisory items, it is not possible to evaluate a maintenance trend, and the buyer cannot rely on official test outcomes to confirm the roadworthiness of components such as suspension, braking system, lights, tyres, or emissions. This makes a thorough independent physical inspection and verification of Tesla service records all the more critical. The recorded mileage is unknown, which removes the ability to benchmark annual usage against the vehicle's age. A 2025 model would normally be expected to show mileage consistent with its first year of use, though new electric vehicles often accumulate significantly fewer miles in their initial ownership period compared to equivalent petrol or diesel vehicles. Without confirmed mileage, the buyer should verify the true figure via the dashboard display, the Tesla app account history, and the V5C registration document. They should also satisfy themselves as to whether the vehicle has been used predominantly for short urban trips, longer motorway commutes, or has been standing unused for extended periods, as each pattern carries distinct implications for brake disc corrosion, tyre ageing, and high-voltage battery conditioning. Given the absence of MOT data, the buyer should conduct a comprehensive hands-on inspection focusing on areas that age and usage affect even on nearly new vehicles. Tyres should be checked closely for sidewall perishing or cracking, as rubber compounds degrade with calendar age regardless of tread depth, and the manufacturing date code on the sidewall should be reviewed to ensure they are not older than twelve months. The 12V auxiliary battery, which is known to be a service item on Tesla vehicles, should be tested for state of charge and load capacity, as failure of this component is a common cause of roadside issues in low-usage EVs. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for surface corrosion and any signs of seizing due to infrequent use, particularly if the vehicle has been driven predominantly under regenerative braking conditions where the friction brakes see limited application. A test drive should be carried out over a route that includes motorway speeds, uneven road surfaces, and emergency braking to assess for any suspension clonks, brake judder, uneven tyre wear patterns, or pulling under braking, all of which would indicate underlying mechanical concerns. Brake fluid should be checked or its service history verified, as hygroscopic fluid degradation is calendar-based rather than mileage-based and typically requires replacement every two to three years irrespective of use. The high-voltage battery state of health should be confirmed through Tesla's diagnostic system, and the cooling system, air conditioning, and all driver assistance functions verified as operational. Finally, ensuring the vehicle has a complete Tesla service history with documented software updates and any recall work completed will provide the strongest possible assurance of mechanical integrity in the absence of MOT verification.
