2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD Electricity · D3 KNX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding deferred component replacement. While it passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 42,133 miles, it failed that same test initially due to multiple mechanical and safety defects. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to a series of failures suggests that the owner is only addressing issues when prompted by a testing failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At approximately seven years old, the mileage of 42,133 miles represents a low annual average of roughly 6,000 miles, which is consistent with light-use patterns. However, the data shows a significant jump of 13,618 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, followed by another 13,743 miles in the following year. This sudden increase in usage likely explains the rapid wear observed on consumables, as the vehicle moved from a zero-defect status to multiple failure points in the more recent inspections. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the braking and suspension systems. The record consistently flags pitted and scored brake discs on both front and rear axles across 2024 and 2025, indicating surface corrosion or wear typical of long periods of standing or lack of cleaning. Furthermore, the nearside rear upper suspension arm ball joint was identified with play in the 2025 test. This component requires immediate attention to ensure steering precision and to prevent further uneven tyre wear. Tyre condition also shows a pattern of neglect. The 2024 failure noted exposed cords on the offside rear inner tyre, and the 2025 test flagged an offside front tyre at the 2mm legal limit with visible cracking. The buyer should check all remaining tyres for sidewall damage and age, as the low mileage does not protect against rubber degradation. The recurring faults indicate the vehicle has not been maintained to high mechanical standards.
