2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD Electricity · DA03 RAT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on 15 December 2025. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The test on that same day initially resulted in a failure due to a structural separation tear in the offside front tyre and wear on the nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit. While these issues were rectified to secure the pass, the failure indicates the previous owner neglected tyre replacement until the formal inspection mandated it. At a recorded 83,892 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 12,000 miles per year since its inception, which aligns with typical UK usage for a seven-year-old car. The mileage accumulation is consistent, showing roughly 17,000 miles driven between the December 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 6,500 miles in the final year. This steady usage suggests regular road operation, which generally prevents the seizing of mechanical components compared to vehicles with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension. The December 2024 test at 77,332 miles flagged pitted front brake discs and a fluctuating offside front service brake, indicating signs of uneven wear or potential caliper issues. Given the high torque output of the Performance drivetrain, these components endure significant stress and should be inspected for thinning or scoring. Additionally, the recent tyre failure for structural separation warrants a thorough physical check of the remaining tyres and suspension bushings to ensure that impact damage has not caused hidden faults to the control arms or steering geometry.
