2022 Tesla Model 3 Electric · AJ72 WAA

A consistently clean MOT record across the past two tests, most recently on 15 September 2026, shows no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle has met the statutory safety and emissions criteria at each annual inspection. The absence of advisories or failures suggests that, to date, none of the key safety‑critical components have been flagged by the DVSA examiner. With 27 391 miles logged on a 2022 model, the average annual accumulation is roughly 6 850 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a car of this age. The MOT dates – December 2025 and September 2026 – reflect the expected yearly testing interval, and there are no unexplained mileage gaps that would hint at prolonged periods of inactivity. This mileage level places the vehicle within the normal wear envelope for its drivetrain, suspension, and braking components, meaning that consumables are likely approaching mid‑life service intervals rather than premature failure points. Although the MOT history reports no faults, a prospective buyer should still verify the condition of wear items that are not captured by the test. Inspect tyre tread depth and look for uneven wear that could signal misaligned suspension or worn steering bushes; listen for any clunking or knocking when traversing bumps, which would indicate deteriorating suspension bushings or worn ball joints. During a dynamic test, assess the steering feel for any pull to one side and monitor the brake pedal for consistent pressure and the absence of judder, which would reveal healthy disc and pad wear. Check the condition of the charging port, cable connections, and verify that the high‑voltage battery displays expected range and that the vehicle’s software is up to date, as these are critical for EV reliability. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection should therefore concentrate on tyre condition, brake pad and disc thickness, suspension bushings, steering geometry, and the health of the high‑voltage battery and charging system. Confirm that there are no visible signs of corrosion on the chassis or underbody, and that all safety‑critical systems – including airbags, seat‑belt pretensioners and lighting – operate correctly. Addressing these points will give a clear picture of the car’s current roadworthiness beyond the clean MOT record.
