Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those transitioning to electric mobility. The vehicle shows a consistent pass record and mileage that aligns well with typical usage for this model.
When inspecting this specific Model 3, focus on the physical condition of the Blue paintwork and the integrity of the glass roof, which is a common area of interest for Tesla buyers. Given the mileage has reached nearly 62,000 miles, check the condition of the suspension components and bushings, as these are subject to wear on heavier electric vehicles.
Request documentation regarding the battery health and any remaining manufacturer warranty coverage. Since the MOT history shows no recorded defects, your primary focus should be on the physical wear of the interior and the condition of the tyres, which is noted as a top failure reason for this model type across the aggregate data.
As an electric vehicle, running costs are primarily driven by electricity prices and charging habits. The Model 3 Standard Range + is generally efficient, though real-world range will depend on driving style and temperature. Tax considerations for EVs in the UK have changed recently, so check the current status of the Vehicle Excise Duty for this specific registration.
Maintenance costs for this Tesla are typically lower than internal combustion engine equivalents because there are no oil changes or spark plugs to manage. However, you should budget for regular tyre replacements and cabin filter changes. Estimated annual running costs for a driver covering similar annual mileage are approximately £1,100-£1,400, depending on insurance and charging methods.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the tyres; they are a frequent cause of MOT failures for Teslas due to the high torque and weight of the vehicle. Ensure the tread depth is sufficient and there is no uneven wear that might suggest alignment issues.
Since the recent MOT tests in 2024 and 2025 recorded no defects, the vehicle has met the minimum legal standards recently. However, you should still inspect the brake pads and discs, as well as the condition of the charging port for any signs of wear or debris, to ensure everything is functioning as expected.
This 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + in Blue has covered 61,972 miles since its registration in December 2021. The MOT history is clean, with no defects recorded in the most recent tests in December 2024 and December 2025. While the mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 10,320 miles per year, the recent inspection results suggest a consistent level of compliance.
The Model 3 shows an 87.2% average MOT pass rate across 23,447 analysed vehicles, with tyre-related issues being the most common cause of failure.
