2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · LD72 DXM

A singular failure regarding tyre integrity defines the recent inspection history for this vehicle, which passed its most recent test on 05 September 2025 after addressing a major defect. The failure was specifically recorded for a cut in the nearside rear inner tyre that was deep enough to expose the ply or cords, necessitating immediate replacement to meet safety standards. Aside from this specific component issue, the record shows no other mechanical defects or recurring advisories, indicating a relatively stable testing trend for the vehicle's structural and mechanical components. The recorded mileage of 23,970 miles against a four-year age profile represents a low annual accumulation of approximately 5,992 miles. This usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven significantly less than the UK average, which typically results in less frequent wear on mechanical consumables such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and tyres. However, lower annual mileage can sometimes correlate with longer periods of inactivity, though the MOT record does not indicate any significant gaps in testing that would suggest prolonged periods of being off the road. During a physical inspection and test drive, focus should be directed toward the recent tyre failure to ensure the replacement is of high quality and that no underlying issues caused the damage. Check the sidewalls of all four tyres for any similar cuts, bulges, or uneven wear patterns that might suggest alignment issues or impact damage from kerbing. Given the low mileage, it is also prudent to inspect the brake pads and discs for surface corrosion or unevenness, as vehicles driven infrequently can sometimes experience binding calipers or surface oxidation on the braking surfaces. While the MOT record is otherwise clear, a thorough check of the suspension components is advisable to ensure the low-mileage usage has not resulted in any uneven loading or stiffness. Listen for any knocks or knocks from the suspension linkages or coil springs when navigating uneven surfaces or speed bumps. Because the vehicle is an all-wheel-drive model, ensure that the drivetrain operates smoothly without any unusual vibrations or pulling under acceleration, confirming that the low mileage has not masked any component stiction or electrical sensor irregularities.
