2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD Electric · LB69 VLF

The Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD shows a consistently clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all four tests, most recently passing on 16 August 2025 at 38,717 miles. This suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a level sufficient to meet current roadworthiness standards, with no recurring issues or advisories to indicate worsening mechanical trends. The most recent test confirms all critical systems—brakes, suspension, steering, emissions, and structural integrity—were deemed compliant without failings, though the absence of advisories does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The recorded mileage of 38,717 miles over approximately seven years implies an average annual distance of around 5,531 miles, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and category. The gaps between tests—particularly the 18-month interval between the 2022 and 2023 MOTs—raise questions about whether the vehicle was stored for extended periods, potentially exposing components like tyres, suspension bushes, and battery health to prolonged static conditions. The lack of advisories during these periods suggests no immediate corrosion or mechanical degradation, but low mileage does not guarantee absence of neglect in areas like fluid changes or software updates. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension components, including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, for signs of degradation or corrosion—especially if the vehicle was stored for long periods. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, as electric vehicles often experience different thermal and regenerative braking patterns. The battery and high-voltage system should be assessed for any fluid leaks, swelling, or degraded connections, as these are less visible but critical to long-term reliability. Finally, a thorough examination of the underbody for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and subframes, is advisable, given the vehicle’s age and exposure history.
