2023 Tesla Model Y RWD Electric · H25 GHE

The latest MOT test conducted on 5 February 2026 resulted in a pass. The single advisory regarding a child seat obstructing the inspection of the nearside front adult seatbelt is a non-mechanical, procedural note rather than an indicator of vehicle neglect or mechanical failure. Given that this is a relatively new vehicle with a clean pass, the maintenance trend appears stable, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets the required safety standards without any recorded structural or mechanical defects. The recorded mileage of 33,567 miles over approximately three years equates to an average annual usage of roughly 11,189 miles. This represents a typical usage pattern for a modern electric vehicle in the UK, suggesting the car has been used regularly for commuting or general travel rather than being left to sit idle for extended periods. This level of mileage is beneficial as it implies the vehicle's components, such as the battery cooling systems and various rubber seals, have likely been kept in active operation, which helps prevent the degradation often seen in vehicles with significantly lower, intermittent usage. Since the MOT history is essentially clean of mechanical defects, the inspection should focus on age-related wear and consumables. Although the mileage is moderate, you should carefully inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking, particularly if the vehicle has been parked in direct sunlight. Check the tread depth across all four tyres and look for uneven wear patterns, which could indicate issues with wheel alignment or suspension bush wear. Given the electric drivetrain, there is less mechanical noise to mask faults, so listen closely during the test drive for any unusual knocks or clunks from the suspension, particularly when navigating uneven surfaces or speed bumps, as coil springs and dampers can occasionally show premature wear. Furthermore, even with a clean MOT, you should verify the service history regarding cabin filter replacements and brake fluid condition, as these are time-sensitive rather than purely mileage-dependent. Inspect the brake discs for any signs of surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur if the vehicle has been standing, and check for any binding calipers that might cause uneven brake wear. It is also prudent to examine the condition of the 12V auxiliary battery and ensure the main high-voltage battery health is verified through the vehicle's onboard diagnostics or a dedicated health report. Finally, confirm that all software updates are current and that there are no visible signs of fluid leaks from the thermal management system or heat pump components.
