2022 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electric · GF22 AZN

Three consecutive passes with only a single advisory across the entire recorded history is the defining feature of this 2022 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus. The most recent examination on 18 August 2026 resulted in a pass, with one advisory noting an offside rear suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement. The two prior tests in August 2025 and August 2024 were entirely clean, so the record shows a stable pattern rather than any deterioration, though the appearance of a worn rear suspension bush at this age is worth attention given the mileage covered. At 62,883 miles over roughly four years, the car has averaged around 15,700 miles per year, which is high for its age and well above typical private use. Testing has been consistent with annual examinations each August and no gaps in the record. This kind of sustained, regular accumulation typically means the suspension, wheel bearings, and drivetrain components have seen continuous work rather than prolonged standing, and it is consistent with the first wear-related advisory appearing on a rear suspension bush. High-mileage electric vehicles also place repeated load through the rear suspension under regenerative braking and the considerable weight of the battery pack, so bush wear at this stage is not unexpected. Prospective buyers should focus their inspection on the offside rear suspension. On a test drive, listen for knocking, clunking, or creaking from the rear over speed bumps, uneven surfaces, and during acceleration or braking, as these are the classic symptoms of a worn suspension arm bush progressing beyond the advisory stage. Check for uneven or accelerated tyre wear on the rear axle, which can indicate geometry disturbance from worn bushes, and feel for any vagueness or wandering in the rear end during lane changes or under braking. A physical inspection on a ramp should confirm the condition of the flagged bush and check the nearside equivalent, since wear is often symmetrical on high-mileage cars. Beyond the flagged item, the clean record means there are no recorded concerns with brakes, corrosion, or structural integrity, but buyers should still verify brake disc and pad condition given the mileage, as regenerative braking can mask disc corrosion between services. Confirming the cost of replacing the rear suspension arm or bush before purchase is sensible, as this is a known wear point and the advisory suggests replacement will be needed in the near to medium term. Overall the record reflects a heavily used but consistently roadworthy vehicle with one emerging, well-identified wear item to budget for.
