2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · LD21 CVK

The vehicle presents as roadworthy based on the most recent MOT test conducted on 7 March 2026 at 72,170 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with consecutive clean passes in March 2025 at 62,023 miles and March 2024 at 48,697 miles following an anomalous failure on 19 March 2024 at 48,695 miles that listed no defects. That earlier failure appears administrative rather than mechanical, given the immediate pass next day with only two miles added. Mileage accumulation reflects above-average use for a five-year-old car. From March 2024 to March 2025 the odometer advanced 13,328 miles; by March 2026 it added a further 10,147 miles, yielding an overall average near 14,434 miles per year against the recorded 72,170 total. The test history is sparse but clean, showing no advisories on suspension, braking, or structural integrity across all entries. Such consistency suggests the previous keeper maintained the car to statutory standards, though the high annual mileage warrants scrutiny of consumable wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of key mechanical components that high mileage can degrade even without MOT advisories. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, check brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and assess tyre tread depth across all four corners. Although the EV powertrain eliminates exhaust emissions concerns, structural corrosion around chassis mounting points remains worth checking given winter road salt exposure. The absence of recorded faults across four tests indicates no recurring defect pattern. Verify the 19 March 2024 failure reason via DVLA records, but expect it to be a clerical anomaly. Given the stable record, the Model 3 stands as a sound used purchase pending routine in-person checks.
