2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electricity · BT71 WNH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from reactive repairs to emerging mechanical wear. The most recent test in December 2025 at 57,035 miles identified a defect regarding a worn offside rear upper suspension arm pin or bush. While this did not result in a failure at that time, it indicates the beginning of suspension de-component degradation that was not present during the previous year's inspection. The' profile of 57,035 miles over five years represents an average of approximately 11,400 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for this era. There is a significant gap of 18,013 miles recorded between the November 2024 test and the December 2025 test. The November 2024 failure at 39,022 miles revealed that all four tyres were at or below the legal 1.6mm tread depth limit, suggesting a period of neglected basic consumable maintenance prior to that inspection. A physical inspection must prioritise a thorough check of the rear suspension assembly to assess the extent of the wear on the offside upper arm bush as flagged in the latest record. Given the previous failure involving multiple tyres, the buyer should also verify the current tyre set for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues or worn bushings. The transition from tyre-related failures to suspension artwork advisories suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where rubber and metal pivot components require closer monitoring to prevent further mechanical decline.
