2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electric · LB72 VEV

A clean MOT record to date indicates that, across the single test logged, the 2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD has shown no statutory roadworthiness failures or advisories, suggesting that any issues that might affect safety or emissions have not been identified by the DVSA up to the November 2025 inspection. At 53,716 mi the vehicle averages roughly 13,400 mi per annum, a mileage level that exceeds typical usage for a four‑year‑old family SUV. This higher annual accumulation accelerates wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and discs, and on suspension components that are subject to load cycles. The absence of a testing gap between the car’s first registration and the recorded MOT implies continuous road use rather than prolonged storage, reinforcing the relevance of checking wear items that are not captured by the MOT. Although the MOT log contains no specific defects, a prudent pre‑purchase inspection should focus on the condition of the tyre tread and sidewalls for uneven wear that could signal mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes, and on the brake system for any pulsation in the pedal, squeal, or reduced regenerative response that might indicate pad or disc degradation. A road‑test should include listening for clunks or knocks over bumps that could reveal worn control arm bushings or deteriorated coil springs, and feeling for any steering pull that would point to alignment or subframe issues. Because electric vehicles do not have a conventional engine oil system, attention should be given to coolant levels for the battery thermal management system and to the condition of the high‑voltage cables and connectors, looking for signs of corrosion or loose fittings. Finally, verify that all safety‑critical items—lights, windscreen wipers, and seat‑belt mechanisms—operate correctly, and request a recent battery health report from the dealer or a specialist, as the MOT does not assess battery capacity. Confirm that the vehicle’s software is up to date, and that any recalls applicable to the model year have been addressed, to ensure that the car remains compliant with current safety and emissions standards.
