2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electricity · GF71 YUV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to consumables. The most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 46,592 miles passed immediately after a failure the previous day for a nearside front tyre with insufficient tread depth. While the car meets minimum legal standards, the recurring nature of tyre-related failures across multiple tests suggests that the previous owner only replaced rubber when it reached the point of failure. At 46,592 miles over five years, this Model 3 averages approximately 9,300 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK usage for a modern vehicle. The mileage progression is consistent, with roughly 11,000 miles recorded between the December 2024 test at 35,598 miles and the December 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular road use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for battery seals and suspension components. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of all four tyres to check for uneven wear patterns, as the record shows issues on the nearside front, nearside rear, and offside rear across different intervals. Given the age of the vehicle and the mileage, the inspection should also evaluate the suspension control arm bushings for signs of tearing, as these are common wear points on heavy electric vehicles. The lack of structural corrosion or mechanical defects in the history suggests the chassis remains sound, but the brake discs should be visually checked for surface rust or thinning given the use of regenerative braking which can leave physical brakes underutilised.
