2023 Tesla Model 3 Electric · BK73 OSG

A clean MOT record defines this Model 3 – the most recent test on 29 August 2026 recorded a full pass with no defects, and it is the only MOT entry in the DVSA history, indicating no documented mechanical failures to date. This uninterrupted pass suggests the vehicle has met the statutory safety and emissions criteria throughout its three‑year life without any recurring advisories or failures. With 30,760 miles logged since its first registration in 2023, the average annual accumulation sits at roughly 10,200 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a contemporary electric saloon. The absence of any testing gaps in the MOT timeline means the mileage progression is continuous and there are no unexplained periods of inactivity that might conceal latent corrosion or battery degradation. Mechanically, this mileage level places the powertrain, suspension components and braking system within normal wear expectations for a vehicle of this age. When inspecting the car, focus on the high‑voltage battery pack and its management system – verify that the state‑of‑charge indicator reflects the advertised range, listen for any unusual whine from the inverter under load, and confirm that the charging port and associated high‑current cables show no signs of wear, corrosion or loose connections. Examine the tyre tread depth and uniformity, as uneven wear can hint at misaligned steering geometry or worn suspension bushings, and test the steering feel for any pull or vibration that might reveal early wear in the rack or tie‑rod ends. A road‑test should include a thorough evaluation of the regenerative braking blend and the conventional friction brakes – note the pedal travel, any judder under hard application, and listen for squeal that could indicate worn pads or glazed discs. Finally, request confirmation that any Tesla‑issued recall actions have been completed and consider a specialist EV inspection to assess the battery health report, coolant system integrity and the condition of the under‑body shielding, ensuring that the vehicle’s structural and electrical systems are sound before finalising purchase.
