Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the lack of MOT history, buyers should prioritise verifying the manufacturer warranty status and requesting a battery health report. Ensure that the service history, though minimal for an EV, is documented and that all software versions are up to date.
Negotiations should focus on the current state of the tyres and any cosmetic imperfections in the blue paintwork. Because there are no official test records to rely on, a physical inspection of the vehicle's electronics and interior trim is essential.
Running costs are dominated by electricity and insurance. As an electric vehicle, it avoids traditional fuel costs, though expenses will vary based on whether the owner uses home charging or public networks.
Insurance groups for the Model 3 can be relatively high due to the cost of specialised repairs. Maintenance is generally lower than internal combustion engines, though typical annual costs will include tyre replacement and cabin filter changes.
Inspect the tyres thoroughly, as aggregate data identifies tyres as the top MOT failure reason for this model. Check for uneven wear which could indicate alignment issues.
Examine the exterior blue paint for stone chips and check the panel gaps for consistency, as these are common points of scrutiny for this model. Additionally, test all screen functions and the charging port mechanism to ensure they operate smoothly.
This Blue Tesla Model 3 was first registered in December 2024, making it a very recent addition to the road. There is currently no MOT history available, which is expected as the vehicle is not yet due for its first statutory test. Aggregate data for the Model 3 is positive, with an 89.4% pass rate across 33,341 analysed vehicles.
The Model 3 demonstrates a solid reliability profile with an 89.4% pass rate across a large sample size of over 33,000 vehicles.
