2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electric · BL72 AEM

The most recent MOT test on 2025-10-17 confirms the vehicle passed without defects, though the preceding test on 2025-10-16—conducted on the same mileage—resulted in a failure with no recorded issues. This unusual sequence suggests either a technical error in the MOT system or a rare administrative oversight, as no mechanical faults were documented. The vehicle’s roadworthiness status remains technically compliant as of the latest pass, but the lack of transparency in the failure record raises questions about whether minor or non-testable issues were overlooked. No advisories or recurring faults appear in the available data, indicating no clear pattern of mechanical decline. The recorded mileage of 44,847 miles over approximately four years aligns with average usage for this model, averaging around 11,212 miles annually. There are no visible gaps in service intervals or abrupt spikes in mileage between tests, which would otherwise signal neglect or aggressive driving. The consistency of mileage accumulation implies routine usage without extreme wear patterns, though the absence of service records means critical maintenance—such as suspension servicing, brake fluid changes, or drivetrain inspections—cannot be confirmed. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components not routinely tested, such as suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive play or corrosion, particularly at wheel mounts and subframes. The lack of advisories does not preclude hidden issues, so binding brake calipers, uneven brake disc wear, or fluid leaks should be checked. Additionally, the electrical system—critical in EVs—should be scrutinised for battery health, charging efficiency, and any soft faults that might not trigger MOT failures but could indicate long-term reliability concerns. The vehicle’s structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and wheel arch protection, warrants thorough examination, especially given the typical exposure to UK road conditions.
