2020 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electricity · GL20 TMY

The vehicle remains roadworthy based on the latest MOT pass, but the maintenance trend reveals a consistent pattern of deferred attention. The most recent test in July 2025 at 36,447 miles flagged an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit with signs of edge wear. This mirrors issues seen in the previous two years, indicating a stable trend where consumable components are only addressed once they approach failure thresholds rather than being replaced proactively. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year over the six-year life of the Model . The intervals between tests are regular, with roughly 9,300 miles covered between July 2023 and August 2024, and another 8,862 miles covered between August 2024 and July 2025. This low annual mileage suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and battery cooling systems, though the recurring tyre issues suggest the vehicle may have been neglected despite the low distance. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the wheel alignment and suspension geometry. The repeated reports of edge wear on multiple tyres, including the nearside front and offside front in 2024, strongly suggest a persistent misalignment issue or worn suspension bushes and control arms. If these are not corrected, they will continue to cause premature and expensive tyre degradation. Given the low mileage, the brakes should also be checked for excessive corrosion or seized calipers, as vehicles that sit for long periods often suffer from surface rust on the discs and internal hydraulic pistons.
