2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electricity · GL71 CYY

A history of critical safety failures regarding tyre condition defines this vehicle's recent record, specifically a series of dangerous failures in December 2025 where all four tyres were found to be below legal limits or had exposed ply and cords. While the vehicle eventually achieved a pass on 2025-12-04, the severity of the initial failures indicates a period of significant neglect regarding basic roadworthiness. A lingering advisory regarding a worn offside front suspension arm pin or bush remains the primary mechanical concern following the latest inspection. The recorded mileage of 68,635 miles is high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,727 miles per year. This level of usage accelerates the wear of chassis components and consumables. In the context of an electric vehicle, this high mileage places increased stress on the suspension geometry and rubber bushings, which is reflected in the current advisory for the front suspension arm. During a physical inspection and test drive, particular attention must be paid to the offside front suspension. Listen for audible knocks or clunks when traversing uneven road surfaces or when turning the steering wheel at low speeds, as these are typical symptoms of a worn suspension arm bush. Ensure the steering feels centered and does not exhibit a pull or vibration under braking or acceleration, which could indicate that the suspension wear has begun to affect the wheel alignment. Verify that the dangerous tyre defects identified in December 2025 have been rectified with quality replacements, as the high torque of an electric drivetrain increases the rate of tread wear. Additionally, check for any binding in the brake calipers or uneven disc wear, which can occur on high-mileage electric vehicles where regenerative braking reduces the frequency of traditional friction braking.
