2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electricity · LC72 WFS

The 2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD holds a current MOT that passed on 15 November 2025 at 23,361 miles, with no mechanical or structural failures recorded. The sole advisory concerned an Offside Rear Child Seat fitted at the time of test, which prevented full inspection of the adult seatbelt. This is a minor administrative note rather than a defect, and the vehicle's roadworthiness status at that date was fully compliant. With only one test on file, there is no trend data to assess whether faults are worsening or resolving. The maintenance picture is essentially a clean slate, though the absence of prior tests means a buyer cannot verify how the car was maintained before late 2025. The mileage profile tells an interesting story. At roughly four years old with 23,361 miles recorded, the annual average sits near 5,840 miles, which is notably low for a vehicle of this type. The single recorded test at 23,361 miles on 15 November 2025 suggests the car may have stood unused for extended periods or was driven very sparingly. Low annual mileage can preserve consumable components such as brake discs and tyres from excessive wear, but it also carries risks. Long periods of inactivity can lead to brake caliper seizure, tyre flat-spotting, dried seals, and battery degradation in the 12-volt auxiliary system. The MOT record does not capture any of these latent conditions, as they may not manifest during a static or short-duration test. A buyer should arrange an independent inspection focusing on areas the MOT does not fully probe. The rear seatbelt on the offside could not be examined due to the child seat, so that belt's retraction, webbing condition, and buckle function need manual verification. Given the low mileage, check the condition of all four tyres for age-related cracking rather than tread depth, and inspect the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion that can develop after standing. The underside should be examined for any signs of corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, and battery enclosure fixings, as EVs are particularly sensitive to structural corrosion around high-voltage components. A diagnostic scan of the high-voltage battery state of charge and cell balance would also be prudent, since prolonged inactivity can cause cell drift that a standard MOT does not flag.
