Our Verdict
As a March 2024 Tesla Model Y RWD, this
Because the car is still under two and a half years old, you are essentially buying on factory and dealer warranty rather than service or MOT evidence. Confirm that the Tesla new vehicle warranty (4 years/50,000 miles) is still active and check the separate battery and drive unit warranty (8 years/100,000 miles for the Model Y). Ask for the in-app service history or digital records showing any inspections or software updates carried out, as Tesla's service model differs from traditional dealers. It is also worth checking Tesla's recall database and the DVSA recall list using the registration HJ24ABU to ensure no outstanding remedial work exists.
When negotiating, your strongest leverage is the fact that the car is approaching the end of its initial warranty period and will soon need its first MOT. Request a pre-sale inspection at a Tesla Service Centre, including a battery health report showing State of Health (SoH) compared to when new — anything below 90% on a car of this age would be worth questioning. Check that the 12V auxiliary battery (a known wear item on Teslas) has been replaced if the car is in a high-use or hot-climate condition, and confirm the condition of the tyres, as EV weight tends to wear them faster than on equivalent petrol cars.
As a pure electric vehicle, the Tesla Model Y RWD benefits from very low fuel costs, with a real-world efficiency of roughly 3.5–4.0 miles per kWh, translating to around 4–5p per mile on a typical home tariff and 8–12p per mile on a public rapid charger. The vehicle is exempt from VED (road tax) until April 2025 for cars registered before this date, after which it falls into the standard £195 EV rate, though this is expected to change. Insurance sits in a relatively high group for the Model Y, typically group 35–40, so premiums will be above average for this segment. Servicing costs are low because there are fewer consumables — no oil changes, brake pads last much longer due to regenerative braking — but tyres (around £150–£200 each) and the 12V battery are recurring items.
With no MOT history to draw upon, physical inspection is paramount. Start with the body panels and paint — check for panel gaps, misalignment, and paint inconsistencies, as build quality and panel fitment have been reported as variable on Model Y vehicles. Inspect the wheels and tyres for uneven wear, which can indicate suspension or alignment issues, and check the brake callipers for corrosion, as limited use of friction brakes in an EV can lead to seized mechanisms. Inside, test all touchscreens, seat controls, and charging port operation, as these are common failure points and expensive to repair outside warranty.
On the technical side, ask for a full diagnostic scan via the Tesla app or at a service centre to check for error codes, battery degradation percentage, and software version. Verify the high-voltage battery State of Health and check the charging history — frequent rapid DC charging to 100% can accelerate degradation, so look for evidence of routine 80% charging. Also confirm that all recall campaigns have been completed (Tesla has issued several for the Model Y, including seatbelt and suspension-related items) and that the latest firmware is installed, as Tesla frequently addresses issues via over-the-air updates.
This Tesla Model Y RWD was first registered in March 2024 and is finished in white, running on electric power. No MOT history is available because the vehicle will not require its first MOT test until March 2027 (three years from first registration for a car first registered after 2010). With only around two and a half years on the road at the time of writing, the recorded mileage and service events are too recent to draw long-term conclusions. Aggregate reliability data for the Tesla Model Y RWD is also unavailable, so the assessment leans on the vehicle's age and EV-specific considerations rather than statistical precedent.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Tesla Model Y RWD, so the model's wider reliability reputation cannot be quantified from the provided dataset. Tesla's brand reliability rankings in major UK surveys have historically been middling, but the Model Y has fewer years of MOT data than older models, making statistical conclusions premature.
