2021 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD Electric · GL71 EHT

This Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD, tested most recently on 21 December 2025 at 38,454 miles, achieved an unblemished pass with no defects or advisories recorded. The absence of any MOT failures or repeated issues in the single available test suggests the vehicle has undergone consistent maintenance within the legal requirements, though the sparse history limits deeper insight into long-term reliability. The most recent pass indicates compliance with current UK roadworthiness standards, but the lack of prior tests means there is no data to assess whether any potential wear—such as suspension alignment, brake pad thickness, or battery health—has been proactively addressed beyond the minimum legal threshold. The recorded mileage of 38,454 miles over approximately five years equates to an average of around 7,691 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for this age of vehicle. There are no gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage to suggest extended periods of neglect or rapid deterioration, though the absence of intermediate MOTs means no verification exists for earlier maintenance or wear patterns. Without additional service records, it remains impossible to determine whether the vehicle has undergone regular servicing beyond the mandatory MOT checks, which could impact components like fluid changes, suspension servicing, or battery condition. Given the limited MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely checked in a standard MOT. The suspension system—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven wear or binding, as these are critical for handling and safety but often fall outside MOT scrutiny unless visibly failing. Brake discs and pads, while not flagged in the MOT, may require closer scrutiny for uneven wear or glazing, especially given the AWD configuration which increases load on the rear brakes. Additionally, the battery health, though not tested in an MOT, warrants verification through a specialist diagnostic check, as lithium-ion degradation can accelerate beyond what a basic roadworthiness test detects. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and wheel bearing condition, should also be inspected, as these are not always captured in a single MOT pass.
