2020 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · LD20 KZR

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD shows a clean and consistent MOT history, with the most recent test on 20 April 2025 at 36,244 miles passing without any recorded defects. This indicates no major recurring issues have been detected by the tester, though the 2023 failure at 21,387 miles —despite passing the following test—was unusual, as no defects were logged. The absence of advisories or repeated faults suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing, though the lack of service records means hidden wear cannot be confirmed. The 2024 and 2025 tests align with the standard 12-month interval, reinforcing a stable pattern of compliance with UK roadworthiness standards. The mileage progression remains steady, averaging 6,041 miles per year , which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps between tests, and the 2023 failure —just 445 miles before the next pass—does not indicate a pattern of neglect. However, the 2020–2023 period lacks MOT data, meaning early maintenance history is unknown. The current mileage suggests moderate usage, though high-mileage components like brake pads, suspension bushes, and tyre tread may now require closer inspection, given their typical lifespan at this range. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of brake calipers and discs —especially rear, as electric vehicles often experience uneven wear—and suspension components , including coil springs and bushings, for wear or corrosion. The tyre tread depth should be verified, as the 2023 failure (if genuine) might have been related to legal limits, though the subsequent pass suggests it was rectified. Structural integrity checks, particularly around the wheel arches and underbody , are advisable, given the vehicle’s age and exposure to road salt. The exhaust system should also be examined for leaks or corrosion, as electric vehicles’ underbody heat management can accelerate rust in critical areas.
