2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD Electricity · GL73 MDF

The roadworthiness status of this Tesla Model 3 is currently sound, passing its test on 2026-07-11 at 111,859 miles with a single advisory for slight play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint. The maintenance trend reflects an accumulation of minor suspension and tyre wear over recent months, transitioning from a clean compliance record in late 2024 and mid-2025 into consistent component fatigue. The persistent recurrence of nearside rear upper suspension arm bush wear, first flagged on 2025-12-19 and noted again on 2016-01-13, shows a stable but unresolved mechanical wear pattern that will soon require component replacement rather than simple monitoring. This vehicle exhibits extremely heavy commercial or fleet use, averaging roughly 55,930 miles per year over a two-year lifespan. The mileage accumulation is remarkably dense and continuous, jumping from 43,230 miles on 2024-12-24 to 63,578 miles by 2025-06-21, and eventually surging past 111,000 miles by July 2026. Such rapid mileage compression indicates intensive driving conditions, which places accelerated thermal and mechanical stress on the high-voltage battery architecture, wheel bearings, steering geometry, and heavy-duty chassis mounts compared to typical private ownership. A prospective buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear suspension assemblies, specifically checking the nearside front ball joint and the yellow-marked rear upper suspension arm bushes for excessive play or perishing. The history of inner and outer tread wear on the front tyres, recorded at 88,426 miles, suggests that previous operators ran the vehicle with incorrect wheel alignment or under heavy loads, making a four-wheel geometry check essential. While the electric powertrain and brake friction surfaces appear to have coped with the mileage accumulation without generating failure notices, suspension components on high-mileage electric vehicles wear out faster due to heavy battery mass and regenerative braking forces.
