2022 Tesla Model 3 Electric · LA72 EPD

The Tesla Model 3 presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile based on the available DVSA MOT records. The most recent test on 13 December 2025 at 57,867 miles passed with zero defects recorded, indicating no mechanical or structural faults were identified at that time. The preceding test on 11 December 2025 at 57,825 miles also shows no defects, despite being a failed test, which suggests the failure reason was administrative or procedural rather than mechanical. With no advisories or recurring defects across the recorded history, the maintenance trend is stable and the vehicle appears to have been kept in sound operating condition through its most recent inspection. The mileage accumulation is notably high for a 2022 vehicle. At 57,867 miles over approximately four years, the annualised rate sits around 14,467 miles per year, which exceeds the typical UK average. The mileage progression between the two recorded tests shows just 42 miles added between 11 December 2025 and 13 December 2025, suggesting either a short retest window or limited use during that brief period. The sparse record, with only two entries both occurring in December 2025, limits the ability to assess longer-term wear trends, but the clean pass at the most recent test is a positive indicator. Given the high annual mileage, a buyer should pay close attention to consumable wear items during any physical inspection. Suspension components, particularly bushes and dampers, along with brake discs and pads, are likely to have experienced above-average wear consistent with sustained high-mileage use. Tyre condition and remaining tread depth warrant careful scrutiny, as the 14,467-mile annual rate accelerates rubber degradation. The electric drivetrain and battery health should also be verified through Tesla's onboard diagnostics, as high-mileage EVs can exhibit earlier battery capacity loss than their lower-mileage equivalents. The absence of any flagged defects in the MOT record is encouraging, but it should not substitute for a thorough pre-purchase inspection. A test drive and independent assessment by a qualified EV specialist remain essential, particularly to evaluate regenerative braking response, charging port condition, and the structural integrity of the battery enclosure and subframe mounting points.
