2020 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD Electric · GF20 VVL

The most recent MOT on 28 January 2026 records a pass after remedial work, confirming the vehicle meets the legal roadworthiness criteria, yet the test flagged front and rear brake discs as worn, pitted or scored. The lighting fault that caused the initial failure has been corrected, so the current status is acceptable, but the recurring brake‑disc advisory suggests a developing wear issue rather than a deteriorating trend. At six years old the car has logged 85,800 miles, averaging roughly 14,300 miles per year – markedly above the typical usage for a 2020 model. Mileage rose from 44,922 miles in June 2023 to 62,317 miles by June 2024, then to 66,093 miles in January 2025, before jumping to 85,800 miles by January 2026. The steep increase of nearly 20,000 miles within twelve months points to a period of intensive use, which accelerates consumable wear and places additional load on the braking system and suspension components. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, confirming that disc thickness remains within safe limits and that any scoring does not compromise performance. Inspection of the reversing lamp and all exterior lighting is advisable to ensure the recent repair was durable. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of suspension bushings, coil springs, and tyre tread depth is prudent, as is confirming that the child‑seat mounting does not obstruct adult seat‑belt operation. Any signs of uneven wear or corrosion would merit further mechanical assessment before purchase.
