2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electric · GL22 LLJ

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 23 April 2026. The overall maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, with no recorded failures or mechanical defects across its testing history. The sole advisory regarding a child seat obstructing the inspection of an adult seatbelt is a procedural note rather than a mechanical fault, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard of roadworthiness. With a recorded mileage of 15,645 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 3,911 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK national average for a vehicle of this age. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it also suggests the car may have spent extended periods stationary, which introduces a different set of maintenance considerations compared to a high-mileage example. Given the low annual usage, a prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres. Even with ample tread remaining, tyres on low-mileage vehicles can suffer from perishing or sidewall cracking due to age and UV exposure. Special attention should be paid to the brake system; electric vehicles are prone to brake disc corrosion and binding calipers when left standing, as regenerative braking reduces the frequency of traditional friction braking. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises or feel for uneven braking effort that could indicate surface rust or seized sliders. Further inspection should focus on the health of the 12V auxiliary battery, which is often the first component to fail in vehicles with infrequent use. While the high-voltage traction battery is less susceptible to standing issues, ensuring the vehicle has been kept on a consistent charging schedule is advisable. Finally, verify the service history for calendar-based maintenance, such as cabin filter replacements and brake fluid flushes, as these fluids degrade over time regardless of the mileage covered. Check for any signs of fluid leaks around the suspension struts or steering rack to ensure the seals have remained supple.
