2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electricity · GP03 CJP

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-23 recorded multiple suspension bushing issues, including worn nearside and offside front and rear upper suspension arms. These were classified as "not resulting in excessive movement" but indicate progressive wear. The 2024-11-18 MOT showed similar but less extensive suspension bush wear, along with all four tyres nearing legal limits. Both inspections passed, but the recurring suspension issues suggest a pattern of component degradation. The trend shows worsening suspension bush wear over 13 months, with additional affected areas in the 2025 MOT compared to 2024. While no critical failures were recorded, the increasing number of worn components implies potential long-term reliability risks. The vehicle’s high mileage (17,989 miles annually) aligns with accelerated wear on consumables and suspension systems, though this does not definitively confirm heavy use or neglect. At 5 years old, the vehicle’s mileage exceeds typical averages, which could reflect frequent use or inconsistent maintenance. The absence of major defects in either MOT suggests the owner addressed issues promptly, but the suspension wear indicates ongoing maintenance needs. Buyers should assess whether the wear has been managed through repairs or if it remains unresolved.
