2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electric · BU71 KRO

The most recent MOT from August 2025 shows the Tesla passed at 29,009 miles with a rear upper suspension arm issue noted as worn but not causing excessive movement. The 2024 MOT revealed both rear tyres were worn close to legal limits and worn on the edges, indicating alignment or suspension problems that have now progressed to suspension component wear. This represents a worsening trend where tyre wear issues from 2024 have developed into suspension arm wear by 2025, suggesting ongoing rear suspension problems that need addressing. The car has done 29,009 miles over approximately 5 years, averaging just 5,802 miles annually, which is low for its age and suggests light use rather than hard driving conditions. However, the low annual mileage combined with these suspension and tyre wear patterns could indicate the vehicle spent time stationary or had underlying mechanical issues that caused uneven component wear despite limited use. The progression from tyre wear to suspension component wear within a 12-month period signals potential ongoing rear end alignment or suspension geometry problems that may require significant repair work. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension bushes and arms thoroughly, check all four tyres for wear patterns, examine the rear wheel alignment, and test drive for any unusual noises or handling characteristics from the rear end.
