2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electric · GJ72 JVM

As a fully electric vehicle, running costs are primarily driven by electricity prices and insurance premiums. The Model Y Long Range AWD typically falls into a moderate insurance group, though this varies by driver profile. Tax considerations are also specific to EVs, though you should check current UK legislation regarding EV road tax changes.

Maintenance costs for this Tesla are generally lower than internal combustion engine equivalents due to fewer moving parts, but you should budget for periodic tyre replacements and cabin filter changes. Based on the current mileage and model type, an estimated annual cost is provided below.

Start by checking the tyres; the aggregate data for this model indicates that tyres are a top reason for MOT failures. Inspect the tread depth and look for uneven wear which could suggest alignment issues. Also, check the windscreen washer system, as this has been noted as a common failure point in the wider Model Y population.

Underneath the vehicle, while the MOT passed without defects, it is wise to check for any signs of wear on the anti-roll bar components, another frequent failure reason for this model. Finally, ensure the charging port is clean and that the vehicle accepts a charger without interruption.
