2020 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electricity · LD20 KSF

A history of intermittent component failures and wear-related advisories defines this vehicle's recent testing profile, though the most recent test on 11 February 2026 showed no defects. The record shows a transition from a multi-point failure in early 2024 involving the windscreen wiper, tyre pressure monitoring system, and a damaged rear reflector, to a specific advisory regarding rear brake disc condition in March 2025. While the latest result indicates the vehicle met all minimum standards, the presence of brake disc pitting and scoring suggests a pattern of wear on the braking system that requires close attention. The recorded mileage of 53,513 miles against a six-year age profile indicates an average annual usage of approximately 8,919 miles. This level of mileage is consistent with typical UK driving patterns and suggests the vehicle has not been subject to extreme high-speed motorway use or, conversely, long periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this steady accumulation means that while major drivetrain components may not have reached high-mileage wear thresholds, consumable items such as suspension bushes, tyres, and braking hardware are at a stage where wear becomes a regular factor in MOT outcomes. Prospective buyers should focus specifically on the braking system following the 2025 advisory regarding worn, pitted, or scored rear brake discs. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic grinding or squealing noises when applying the brakes and feel for any pulsations or judder through the brake pedal, which can indicate uneven disc surfaces or sticking calipers. It is also necessary to verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system, which was flagged as malfunctioning in February 2024, is now fully operational and providing accurate readings on the dashboard to ensure compliance and safety. Finally, given the previous failure of the front windscreen wiper, ensure the wiper blades provide a clear, streak-free sweep across the entire glass surface without chatter or skipping. While the 2026 pass suggests these previous issues have been rectified, a thorough inspection of the rear reflector and the overall clarity of the windscreen is advised to confirm that all previously identified defects have been addressed to a standard that prevents immediate recurrence.
