2020 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electricity · LD20 AXK

Verdict for a prospective buyer The most recent MOT on 24 February 2026 recorded a failure for the off‑side headlamp being aimed too low (4.1.2 (a)). This is a straightforward safety fix – the headlamp will need adjustment or replacement – and it does not indicate a deeper mechanical problem. The same date also shows a pass after the engine covers and under‑tray were noted as fitted, suggesting the vehicle was rectified and re‑tested successfully. Across the five‑year MOT record the only recurring comment is the fitting of engine covers and under‑trays (2023, 2024, 2025, 2026). Their repeated mention implies they were missing or removed at some point and have since been reinstated. While not a safety‑critical issue, it signals that earlier work may have left the under‑body exposed, so a visual check for any rust or damage in those areas is prudent. Tyre wear was flagged in March 2024 – the off‑side front tyre was close to the legal tread limit. No further tyre‑related comments appear in later tests, which may mean the tyres were replaced or the wear was addressed. Nevertheless, a current tyre inspection is essential, especially on an electric car where tyre condition heavily influences range and efficiency. Overall the trend is stable.
