2020 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · FX20 BZY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on June 16, 2025. However, the maintenance trend shows signs of inconsistency regarding pre-inspection preparation. The test failed earlier on that same day due to critically low tyre tread depth on both front tyres and an inoperative registration plate lamp. While these issues were rectified immediately to achieve a pass, the failure suggests the owner may have neglected basic consumable checks prior to the formal annual test. At 48,120 miles, the car has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a modern electric vehicle of this age. The mileage progression between the 2023 test at 27,307 miles and the 2024 test at 37,250 miles shows a steady accumulation of roughly 10,000 miles annually. This consistent use pattern indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which can help prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake caliper seizing. A buyer should focus on the rear suspension geometry during a physical inspection. The June 2024 test flagged play in both the offside and nearside rear upper suspension arm ball joints. Although the vehicle passed the following year, the presence of wear in these components indicates that the suspension bushings may be reaching the end of their service life. Given the recent failure for worn front tyres, the condition and matching brand of the current set of tyres should also be verified to ensure they were replaced with high-quality units rather than budget alternatives.
