2025 Tesla Model Y RWD Electric · L331 AMB

The vehicle has no MOT record on the DVSA database, which is unsurprising for a 2025 model as the first statutory MOT is not required until the end of the third year after initial registration. Consequently there is no test history from which to infer a maintenance trend; the absence of data simply means the buyer must rely on other sources such as the service book, dealer records and any independent inspections to gauge the condition of the car. Mileage is not disclosed, so an assessment must be based on typical usage patterns for a two‑year‑old Tesla Model Y. Average annual mileage for a privately‑used vehicle of this class lies in the region of 6,000 to 10,000 miles, equating to roughly 12,000‑20,000 miles to date. If the car has been driven significantly less than this, it may have spent considerable periods stationary, which can promote rubber perishing in the tyres, corrosion of brake discs, and the gradual loss of electrolyte in the 12 V auxiliary battery. Conversely, if the odometer shows a higher figure, the high‑torque electric drivetrain will have accumulated wear on the reduction gear and suspension components, and the battery cooling system will have been more heavily exercised, potentially accelerating coolant degradation. For a vehicle with limited or unknown usage, the buyer should conduct a thorough visual and tactile inspection of the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry‑rot or uneven tread wear that could indicate mis‑alignment or suspension wear. Examine the wheel hubs and brake discs for surface rust or pitting; excessive rust may cause the calipers to bind, leading to brake shudder on initial application. The suspension should be checked for play in the control arm bushings, worn coil springs and any signs of corrosion on the sub‑frame, especially around the rear axle where the Model Y’s battery pack is mounted. The 12 V battery should be tested for cranking voltage and checked for corrosion on the terminals, while the high‑voltage pack should be inspected via a diagnostic scan to confirm State‑of‑Health, coolant level and that the thermal‑management pump is operating correctly. A comprehensive test drive is essential: listen for any whine or grinding from the motor and gearbox, note any vibration through the steering column that could point to wheel imbalance or worn bearings, and verify that the steering is crisp with no excessive play. Ensure the charging port latch engages smoothly and that the on‑board software is up‑to‑date, as Tesla frequently releases OTA updates that address safety and performance issues. Request evidence of any recall work, particularly the rear‑suspension and battery coolant pump updates that have been issued for early Model Y builds, and confirm that the vehicle remains within the original warranty period or that an extended warranty is in place. A specialist EV inspection will provide the most reliable assurance of roadworthiness before finalising the purchase.
