2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electricity · BL70 YJS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening trajectory regarding tyre condition. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 67,052 miles passed, the tester flagged the nearside front tyre as worn to the legal limit and having sidewall damage. This follows a pattern established in the 2025 test at 49,729 miles, where three out of four tyres showed signs of edge wear or sidewall cracking. The recurring nature of these faults suggests a lack of proactive tyre management or alignment attention. With a mileage of 67,052 miles over five years, this vehicle averages approximately 13,400 miles per annum. This is higher than the national average for a passenger car and places significant demand on wear-related components. Between the January 2024 test at 39,347 miles and the January 2026 test, the car covered over 27,000 miles in just two years. This rapid accumulation explains the accelerated degradation of the rubber and indicates the car has likely seen heavy motorway or commercial use throughout its service life. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and wheel alignment. The consistent reports of edge wear across multiple axles often point to incorrect camber or worn control arm bushings, which will continue to consume expensive EV tyres. You should also inspect the sidewalls of all remaining tyres for bulges or cuts, as the history indicates a history of ignoring structural tyre damage until failure. Given the high mileage, a close check of the brake rotors for uneven wear or pitting is also warranted to ensure the regenerative braking system has not left the mechanical brakes neglected.
