2025 Tesla Model 3 Electricity · GD25 WLO

As the vehicle is a 2025 model and the current date is September 2026, it is within the initial three-year period where a statutory MOT is not yet required under UK law. Consequently, the absence of any MOT history is entirely normal and does not provide a basis for evaluating a maintenance trend or mechanical stability. The lack of recorded test outcomes is a reflection of the vehicle's age rather than a deficiency in its service history, meaning the assessment must rely entirely on physical inspection and manufacturer service records to determine roadworthiness. Because the recorded mileage is currently unknown, it is impossible to establish an annual usage rate or determine if the vehicle has been subjected to heavy or light duty. For a relatively new electric vehicle, this lack of data is a significant variable. High mileage would imply more wear on the suspension components, steering linkages, and tyres, whereas exceptionally low mileage could indicate the vehicle has been stationary for long periods, which can lead to different mechanical concerns such as fluid stagnation or battery degradation. In the absence of an MOT record, a thorough physical inspection is mandatory. You should closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing, sidewall cracking, or uneven wear, which can occur even if the tread depth remains high due to age or incorrect alignment. Inspect the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or pitting, as the regenerative braking systems used in Teslas can lead to less frequent use of the mechanical friction brakes, potentially causing calipers to bind or discs to corrode. Ensure that the suspension feels firm and listen for any clunks or knocks when navigating uneven surfaces, which would indicate worn bushes or damaged coil springs. Finally, pay close attention to the health of the 12V auxiliary battery and the primary high-voltage battery system. If the car has been sitting idle, the 12V battery may show signs of weakness. Check the vehicle's digital service history to confirm that all manufacturer-mandated inspections and software updates have been performed to maintain warranty integrity. During your test drive, verify that the regenerative braking is smooth, there are no unusual electrical noises, and that the vehicle tracks straight under braking to ensure the structural and mechanical integrity of the chassis and braking system.
