2020 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electric · LD20 FDA

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2026-03-13 MOT at 52,095 miles. All prior tests from 2023 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures across six years of MOT history suggests the owner prioritized basic upkeep, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into specific component conditions. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 2020 model, averaging approximately 8,682 miles annually. The 2023-03-14 test at 25,049 miles shows a 9,847-mile gap to the 2024-03-17 test, followed by a 7,224-mile increment to 2025-03-17, then a 9,979-mile rise to 2026-03-13. These intervals reflect regular testing without significant gaps, though the 2024-03-17 test recorded 34,892 miles—a 7,224-mile increase from the prior year. The clean MOT history implies no major mechanical faults, but the absence of detailed defect data means potential wear on consumables or electrical systems remains unverified. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s battery health and cooling system, as these are critical to Tesla’s drivetrain performance. Inspect suspension components for wear, particularly given the 52,095-mile total, and check for corrosion in the underbody, which can develop over time in electric vehicles. While the MOT record shows no structural issues, a pre-purchase inspection should confirm the integrity of the chassis and electrical connections, as these are not assessed in standard MOT tests. The absence of advisories is positive, but electric vehicles require specialized checks beyond standard roadworthiness criteria.
