2019 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · GL69 EXT

Tyre wear and brake component degradation represent the primary recurring mechanical concerns for this vehicle, with the most recent test on 21 January 2026 passing despite advisories regarding front tyre wear on both edges and the offside rear tyre being close to the legal limit. This follows a period of clean results in 2024 and 2025, but the record shows a history of significant tyre issues, including a dangerous failure in late 2022 where ply or cords were exposed on the offside front tyre. The presence of edge wear on the tyres suggests potential issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry that should be scrutinised. The vehicle has covered 61,716 miles over its seven-year lifespan, averaging approximately 8,817 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent with typical annual mileage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting a steady rate of component wear rather than extreme high-speed motorway use or long periods of stationary storage. This consistent accumulation means that consumables such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushings are likely to be at a stage of life where they require regular inspection and potential replacement, as evidenced by the recorded advisories. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyre condition and steering response during a test drive. Because the most recent advisories specifically mention tyres worn on the edges, you should check for any pulling to one side under braking or uneven steering wheel centring on a straight road, which could indicate worn suspension bushes or misaligned camber settings. Furthermore, the 2022 records highlighted pitted and scored brake discs on both the nearside and offside front, so it is essential to feel for any pedal judder or vibrations through the brake pedal when decelerating from higher speeds. The 2023 failure regarding the offside front headlamp aim being too low should be verified to ensure the unit is correctly seated and the adjustment mechanism is functional. While the recent MOT history shows no structural or emissions failures, the recurring nature of the tyre and brake advisories necessitates a thorough physical inspection of the wheel arches and suspension components. Listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces, as this may indicate that the suspension components responsible for maintaining tyre contact and alignment are nearing the end of their service life.
