2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · GD21 AFX

The vehicle maintains a clean roadworthiness status with a stable and positive maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 January 2026 at 89,504 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety requirements. Following a single failure in July 2024, the vehicle has passed three consecutive tests without issue, suggesting that any previous concerns were addressed and subsequent mechanical upkeep remains consistent. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 18,000 miles per year. Between the February 2025 test at 52,416 miles and the January 2026 test at 89,504 miles, the car covered 37,088 miles in just eleven months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent long-distance driving, which often prevents the issues associated with long periods of standing, but it places significantly higher demands on wear components and suspension bushings compared to lower-mileage examples. Given the high annual mileage, a physical inspection should focus on components subjected to constant stress and thermal cycling. A buyer must check for signs of premature wear on the front control arms, suspension springs, and tie rod ends, as these frequently fatigue on heavy electric vehicles with high mileage. The braking system should also be examined for uneven pad wear or caliper corrosion, as regenerative braking can sometimes lead to surface rust if the mechanical brakes are not used frequently enough. The undercarriage should be inspected for any impact damage or debris ingress consistent with high-speed motorway use.
