2026 Tesla Model Y Premium Long Range AWD Electric · FD26 RCF

As a 2026 registration, this Tesla Model Y Premium Long Range AWD is effectively brand new and therefore does not yet have any official DVSA MOT test history recorded against it. The first MOT for this vehicle would not be due until three years after first registration at the earliest, meaning the absence of MOT data is entirely expected and should not be viewed as a concern. Without a previous test outcome or any historical advisories to examine, it is not possible to comment on a maintenance trend, but for a vehicle of this age and apparent condition, one would expect a clean record and no deterioration to assess. A prospective buyer should, however, ensure that the pre-delivery inspection documentation and any manufacturer service records are present and up to date, as these will form the baseline of the vehicle's mechanical history until the first statutory test takes place. The recorded mileage has been noted as unknown, which limits any assessment of annual usage or mechanical wear rates. Given the vehicle's 2026 registration year, any mileage accrued at this stage would still be within the manufacturer's tolerance and covered by the new vehicle warranty, assuming annual mileage remains within typical parameters. Because there is insufficient data to compare mileage against age, a buyer should request the current odometer reading directly from the seller and verify it against the in-service date to confirm sensible usage, particularly checking for unusually high figures which could indicate former fleet or rental use, or very low figures which might suggest extended standing periods. Both extremes carry their own considerations for a modern electric vehicle, particularly regarding battery cycling habits and underbody component exposure. Although no MOT advisories or defects have been recorded, a buyer of a nearly new Tesla Model Y should still conduct a thorough physical inspection focused on the unique characteristics of an electric powertrain and the components that remain subject to age and standing wear. Tyres should be examined carefully for sidewall perishing or cracking, as even low-mileage vehicles can suffer from age-related rubber degradation, and the tread depth should be measured across the full width to confirm even wear patterns which would indicate proper alignment and correct torque application. Brake discs and calipers warrant particular attention because regenerative braking in electric vehicles means the friction brakes are used less frequently, often leading to corrosion build-up on the disc surfaces and a risk of binding calipers from infrequent actuation; listen for any rubbing or scraping noises on a test drive and verify that the vehicle rolls freely when released on level ground. Other practical checks should include a full review of the 12-volt auxiliary battery health, as low-voltage battery failure is a common cause of start-up issues in modern electric vehicles and these batteries can degrade independently of the high-voltage traction pack. The high-voltage battery state of health and charging history should also be requested from the Tesla app or service records, confirming balanced cell voltages and no thermal warnings. Fluid conditions, although less critical than on combustion vehicles, still require inspection; brake fluid is hygroscopic and should be replaced according to calendar-based intervals, while the coolant system for the battery and motors should be verified for leaks and proper fill levels. Finally, a careful test drive should focus on any unusual noises from the suspension, which comprises conventional coil springs and bushes, and confirmation that all driver assistance systems and infotainment functions operate without error messages, as these are integral to the vehicle's roadworthiness and long-term reliability.
