2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electricity · AS04 RAF

As this is a 2024 registration, the vehicle has not yet reached the three-year threshold required for its first mandatory DVSA MOT test. Consequently, there is no official MOT history available to establish a maintenance trend or identify previous mechanical failures. The absence of a test record is standard for a vehicle of this age and does not inherently indicate a lack of care, but it does mean the buyer must rely entirely on physical inspection and service documentation to gauge the current roadworthiness and mechanical integrity of the car. Given that the recorded mileage is currently unknown, it is impossible to determine if the vehicle has been driven within typical annual parameters for a long-range electric vehicle. A prospective buyer should urgently request the odometer reading and cross-reference it with any available service history or previous registration documents to identify any significant gaps or signs of rapid mileage accumulation. High mileage on an electric drivetrain can lead to increased wear on suspension components and tyres, while very low mileage may suggest the vehicle has been sitting idle, which carries its own set of mechanical risks regarding component stagnation. Since no defects are recorded, inspection should focus on age-related degradation and EV-specific considerations. Closely examine the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking, especially if the car has been stationary for extended periods, and look for uneven tread wear which could indicate alignment issues or excessive torque-induced scrubbing. Because regenerative braking reduces the frequency of physical brake application, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and the calipers for signs of binding or seizing. On a test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension bushes or coil springs, and monitor the 12V battery health, as these components can degrade even with low mileage. Finally, verify that any scheduled software updates have been performed and check the coolant levels for the battery thermal management system to ensure optimal performance.
