2020 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electricity · AL02 ART

The Tesla Model 3 presents a stable and currently sound mechanical state, confirmed by a clean pass on 9 April 2026 at 34,333 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend remains largely consistent, showing no recurring structural or mechanical failures across the vehicle's history. A single advisory in 2025 regarding rear tyre wear represents the only deviation from otherwise flawless annual checks, suggesting the vehicle has not suffered from chronic or worsening mechanical issues. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 5,700 miles annually. Between the May 2023 test at 12,667 miles and the May 2024 test at 22,484 miles, the car covered nearly 10,000 miles, indicating a period of more regular driving. The annual accumulation has since tapered off, with only 4,723 miles added between the May 2025 test at 29,610 miles and the April 2026 test at 34,333 miles. This declining rate of mileage accumulation points toward prolonged periods of standing, a factor that demands closer scrutiny of consumables and rubber components during a physical inspection. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the implications of this low-mileage, intermittent use. The 2025 advisory flagged both rear tyres worn close to the legal limit and on the edges, which often indicates prolonged standing causing flat spots or potential alignment issues rather than just high mileage wear. Inspect the sidewalls for perishing and check the remaining tread depth closely, as the current tyres may be original and suffering from age-related deterioration. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion, a common issue on electric vehicles that rely heavily on regenerative braking and stand for extended periods. While the MOT record shows no structural or suspension faults, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and undercarriage is prudent to rule out deterioration caused by inactivity rather than wear.
