2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electric · LA72 BJB

The Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the available MOT history, with the most recent test on 2025-12-12 at 21,015 miles resulting in a clean pass and no recorded defects. This suggests the vehicle has not encountered any major mechanical or structural issues requiring attention during its MOT testing cycle. The absence of advisories or failings in the sole available record implies that, at the time of testing, the vehicle’s core systems—braking, suspension, steering, emissions, and structural integrity—met the minimum DVSA standards. However, the lack of prior MOT data means there is no historical context to assess whether earlier tests revealed recurring or latent issues that may have been addressed since. The recorded mileage of 21,015 miles over approximately four years, as of 2026-07-25, indicates an exceptionally low annual average of around 5,254 miles. This is well below the typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age and type, which often accumulate between 10,000 and 15,000 miles annually. Such low mileage could suggest limited usage, prolonged periods of inactivity, or even potential odometer tampering, though no red flags in the MOT history directly support the latter. The absence of mileage gaps or rapid accumulation between tests further reinforces a pattern of minimal driving, which may have mitigated wear on high-mileage components like brakes, suspension bushes, or drivetrain fluids. However, low mileage alone does not preclude other forms of deterioration, such as corrosion or battery degradation over time. Given the sparse MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the vehicle’s battery health, as electric vehicles are particularly susceptible to degradation over time, even with low mileage. The lack of prior MOT data means there is no record of whether the battery capacity or charging efficiency has been monitored or flagged in previous tests. Additionally, the suspension system—particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and struts—should be examined for signs of wear or corrosion, as these components can degrade even with minimal use due to exposure to environmental factors. The brakes, while not failing in the most recent test, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs and pads, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Finally, a visual inspection of the underbody and wheel arches is essential to assess for corrosion, which can compromise structural integrity and is often accelerated by prolonged standing.
