2022 Tesla Model Y RWD Electricity · FP72 WXM

The most recent MOT test conducted on 26 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Although the record shows a failure on the same date, the absence of specific defect details alongside an immediate pass suggests that any non-compliance was minor and rectified promptly during a retest. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable and positive, as the vehicle has cleared its most recent inspection without any lingering mechanical concerns or structural warnings. With 26,389 miles recorded over approximately four years, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 6,600 miles per annum. This usage pattern is well within the typical range for a private vehicle and suggests a relatively light workload for the electric drivetrain and suspension systems. While lower mileage generally implies less mechanical fatigue on components such as control arms and bushings, it can sometimes indicate longer periods of inactivity, which can lead to different types of degradation compared to high-mileage vehicles. As the MOT history is clean, your physical inspection should focus on age-related wear and the effects of standing. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing, such as sidewall cracking or hardening of the rubber, which can occur even if tread depth remains high. You should also check for uneven tyre wear, which may indicate the need for a wheel alignment or suggest worn suspension bushes. During the test drive, listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension and pay close attention to the braking performance; check for any brake shudder or noise that might indicate binding calipers or heavily corroded brake discs caused by infrequent use. Beyond the immediate mechanical components, you must verify the service history for time-sensitive maintenance. Even with low mileage, brake fluid should be replaced periodically due to its hygroscopic nature, and the 12V auxiliary battery should be checked for health and capacity. Inspect the vehicle's underside for any signs of leaks from the cooling systems and ensure the structural integrity of the chassis is sound. Finally, confirm that the vehicle has been maintained according to the manufacturer's intervals, focusing on any scheduled inspections of the thermal management systems and electrical connections to ensure long-term reliability.
