2019 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electric · DK03 TES

This Tesla Model 3 Standard Range+ demonstrates a consistently clean MOT history, with no defects recorded across four consecutive tests. The most recent inspection on 2025-08-21, at 29,605 miles, confirms the vehicle remains fully roadworthy under current DVSA standards. There are no advisories or recurring issues to suggest mechanical neglect or latent failures, though the absence of defects does not preclude unseen wear—particularly in high-stress components like suspension mounts or battery cooling systems, which are not routinely tested under MOT regulations. The recorded mileage of 29,605 miles over seven years—approximately 4,200 miles annually—indicates exceptionally light usage for a vehicle of this age. The intervals between tests are standard (one year apart), with no abrupt jumps or prolonged gaps that might imply extended storage or irregular service. Such low mileage reduces the likelihood of accelerated wear in friction-based systems, though it does not eliminate the need for proactive checks on fluid levels (e.g., brake fluid, coolant) or software updates, which are not MOT-verified. Given the pristine MOT record, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension integrity , particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and strut mounts—common points of failure in low-mileage EVs where corrosion or fatigue may develop without heavy loading. Brake discs and pads, while not flagged in tests, should be examined for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. The battery health, though not assessable via MOT, warrants scrutiny for degradation signs such as reduced range or thermal management inefficiencies. Finally, a thorough check of structural corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and underbody components is essential, as prolonged low-use environments can accelerate rust formation in susceptible areas.
