2022 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD Electric · LD72 DKX

A spotless MOT record across the two most recent annual tests underlines a consistently roadworthy condition for this 2022 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD, with the latest inspection on 28 August 2026 confirming a pass and no recorded defects. The absence of advisories or failures over consecutive years suggests that the principal safety‑critical systems—brakes, steering, suspension, lights and emissions‑related components—have met the statutory standards each time they were examined. At 18,569 miles after roughly four years of service the vehicle averages just over 4,600 miles per annum, well below the typical UK usage rate for a comparable model. Such low annual mileage generally translates to reduced wear on consumables such as tyre tread, brake pads and suspension bushings, and it also means the high‑voltage battery is unlikely to have been subjected to the deep‑cycle stresses associated with high‑kilometre driving. The MOT history shows no testing gaps, indicating the car has been kept on the road and subject to regular statutory checks throughout its life. Even with a clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still verify the condition of the tyre tread depth and look for any sidewall cracking that can develop during prolonged periods of inactivity. During a low‑speed test drive, listen for any clunking or knocking over bumps that could reveal worn suspension joints or deteriorated bushings, and assess whether the steering feels tight and returns to centre without excessive play. Although regenerative braking reduces conventional brake wear, the brake discs and pads should be inspected for uneven wear patterns or glazing, and the pedal should feel firm without pulsation. Finally, examine the under‑body for any signs of corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and battery cooling inlets, and ensure that all high‑voltage cable connections are secure and free from damage. Confirm that the vehicle’s software is up‑to‑date and that the battery management system reports normal voltage and temperature ranges, as these are not captured by MOT testing but are essential for ongoing reliability of an electric performance model.
