2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · LB70 VRG

A consistent track record of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT passed on 29 August 2025 showing no defects or advisories. While the 2024-01-19 test identified advisory notes regarding both nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, these issues appear to have been addressed, as the subsequent 2024-08-24 and 2025-08-29 inspections recorded no further concerns. The absence of structural, braking, or electrical failures across the recorded history indicates a stable mechanical profile regarding the components inspected by the DVSA. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, with 27,674 miles recorded representing an average annual usage of approximately 5,535 miles. This low-frequency usage pattern means that while mechanical wear on high-friction components like brake pads and suspension bushings may be lower than average, the vehicle has not been subjected to the regular, heavy-duty cycles often seen in higher-mileage examples. Such usage profiles typically result in less cumulative degradation of the drivetrain and chassis, though they do necessitate checking that components have not been affected by infrequent operation. Given the specific advisory regarding front tyre wear on the edges during the January 2024 inspection, any prospective buyer should pay close attention to the vehicle's steering and suspension geometry during a test drive. Uneven tyre wear on the edges often points to alignment issues or irregularities in the suspension setup. On the road, listen for any rhythmic thumping or humming from the front end, and check for any pulling to one side when the steering wheel is released on a level surface. If the previous tyre wear was caused by worn suspension bushes or incorrect camber, these issues may manifest as steering vagueness or vibration through the steering wheel at motorway speeds. Beyond the tyre-related advisories, the lack of recorded defects in the most recent tests suggests that the primary consumables and safety-critical systems have met the required standards. When conducting a physical inspection, verify that the current tyre tread depth and wear patterns are uniform across all four corners to ensure the previous alignment concerns were fully rectified. A thorough check of the steering response and the absence of any knocks or clunks when navigating uneven road surfaces will help confirm that the suspension components remain within their intended operational parameters.
