2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · BD71 JCU

A pattern of consistent roadworthiness is evident through the recent testing history, with the most recent MOT pass on 5 November 2025 showing no recorded defects. While the 2024 test included advisories regarding tyre wear on both the nearside and offside front tyres, the absence of any flagged issues in the latest inspection suggests that these consumables were addressed and that no new mechanical faults have emerged in the intervening period. The vehicle has covered 53,240 miles over its five-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 10,648 miles. This usage profile is consistent with typical UK driving patterns and suggests a steady rate of component wear rather than extreme high-mileage stress or the potential issues associated with long periods of inactivity. This level of mileage means that while major drivetrain components may not yet show significant wear, secondary components such as suspension bushings, steering linkages, and braking hardware should be closely monitored for age-related degradation. Given the previous advisories concerning front tyre wear on the edges, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the vehicle's steering geometry and suspension alignment during a test drive. Uneven tyre wear often points to issues with camber or toe settings, or potentially worn suspension components such as control arm bushings or tie rod ends. Listen for any rhythmic knocking or clunking sounds when navigating uneven road surfaces or turning the steering wheel at low speeds, and check for any pulling to one side when the steering wheel is released on a level road surface. Furthermore, although the most recent test was clear, the history of front tyre wear warrants a physical inspection of the current tread patterns to ensure even wear across the entire contact patch. Any signs of scalloping or feathered edges on the tyre tread would indicate ongoing suspension or alignment issues that could affect handling and safety. A thorough check of the brake discs and pads is also advised to ensure that the previous tyre issues have not been accompanied by uneven braking performance or any perceptible pedal judder.
