2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electricity · AP71 ARP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and shows an improving maintenance trend following a period of mechanical concern. The most recent MOT test on 18 August 2025 at 40,168 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in the previous year were likely addressed or replaced, returning the car to a clean state regarding its testing standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between the 27 August 2024 test at 28,055 miles and the August 2025 test at 40,168 miles, the car covered 12,113 miles. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which explains the wear patterns observed on the suspension and braking components. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system despite the clean pass. The 2024 test flagged play in both front lower ball joints and wear in the rear upper suspension bushes. While the 2025 record shows these were rectified, these components are prone to wear on heavy Model Y vehicles. The buyer should verify that the ball joints are now tight and check the rubber bushings for any signs of cracking or tearing. The rear brake discs were noted as pitted and corroded in 2024. Since electric vehicles use regenerative braking, physical discs can suffer from surface corrosion if they are not used frequently. The inspector should check the surface of the rear rotors for uneven wear or deep pitting to ensure they were actually replaced during the last service interval rather than merely cleaned.
