2019 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · LB69 OEJ

Recurring corrosion of the brake discs and emerging suspension wear define the mechanical history of this vehicle. While the test on 2025-11-12 resulted in a pass, the record reveals a persistent trend of pitted and scored discs across both front and rear axles that has remained an advisory since December 2024. This follows a failure in December 2024 caused by defective rear reversing lamps, indicating a shift from a clean early history to a period of increasing minor mechanical and electrical defects. An accumulated mileage of 44,452 miles over approximately seven years represents an average annual usage of roughly 6,350 miles. This level of use is typical for the vehicle age and suggests a moderate rate of wear on the drivetrain and chassis components. The consistency of the annual testing intervals indicates the vehicle has remained in active use without significant periods of dormancy, though the recorded mileage is low enough that brake disc corrosion often becomes more prevalent than wear from friction. Attention should be directed toward the braking system and front suspension. The repeated advisories regarding pitted and scored brake discs necessitate a check for pedal judder or steering wheel vibration during deceleration. Furthermore, the 2024 record highlighted wear in the lower shock arm bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension. During a test drive, listen for knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces or during low-speed manoeuvres, as these are typical symptoms of deteriorating suspension bushes. The most recent inspection flagged slight play at the nearside rear wheel, although the technician was unable to isolate the specific fault. This should be investigated further to ensure there is no excessive movement in the wheel bearing or hub assembly. Additionally, the documented slight damage to the nearside rear wing should be visually inspected for structural impact or paint failure. The presence of an under tray, noted across multiple tests, should be checked for secure mounting to ensure it does not rattle or obstruct airflow.
