2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electricity · BU71 KSJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in consumable management. While the car passed its latest MOT on 28 August 2025 at 28,213 miles, the tester identified significant issues regarding the front tyres. Both nearside and offside front tyres showed uneven wear with 2mm of tread on inner edges approaching the cords, indicating an alignment problem or suspension component wear that requires immediate attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,643 miles annually. Between the August 2024 test at 20,230 miles and the August 2025 test at 28,213 miles, the car covered 7,983 miles. This recent increase suggests light use, which typically preserves the drivetrain and battery health, though the low mileage can sometimes lead to flat spotting or brake caliper corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods between journeys. A buyer must perform a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry to determine the cause of the inner tyre wear noted in the final test. Check for worn bushes, bent control arms, or faulty links that could compromise the tracking. Given the low mileage, verify the brake discs for surface pitting and the calipers for seizing, as infrequently used EVs often suffer from not clearing rust off the rotors effectively. The rear tyres at 3mm are also nearing the end of their functional life and should be factored into the purchase cost.
