2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electric · FP72 MSO

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 7 October 2025 with no defects recorded. While the car initially failed its test on 3 October 2025 due to major cuts in both front tyres reaching the ply or cords, these issues were rectified within four days. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where immediate safety failures are addressed promptly, and the lack of any recurring mechanical advisories or structural concerns suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition. With a recorded mileage of 41,007 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 10,252 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for this class of vehicle, suggesting a balanced blend of urban and motorway driving. This level of mileage is low enough to avoid premature drivetrain fatigue but sufficient to ensure that the high-voltage battery has remained active and the mechanical components have not suffered from the stagnation often associated with low-use electric vehicles. Given the previous failure regarding tyre integrity, a prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyre sidewalls for any further nicks, bulges, or perishing. On the test drive, pay close attention to the front suspension for any knocking or clunking sounds, particularly when traversing uneven surfaces, as this can indicate wear in the upper control arm bushes. Ensure the steering feels centered and there is no abnormal vibration through the wheel rim, which would suggest uneven tyre wear or alignment issues following the previous tyre replacements. Because electric vehicles rely heavily on regenerative braking, the physical brake discs are used less frequently and are prone to surface corrosion or binding calipers. Inspect the discs for excessive rust and ensure the vehicle pulls away smoothly without a grinding sensation or hesitation. Additionally, verify the health of the 12V auxiliary battery and check the service history for calendar-based maintenance, such as the replacement of cabin air filters and the testing of brake fluid moisture levels, as these are often overlooked in the absence of a traditional internal combustion engine service schedule.
