2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electric · LE23 WDV

The most recent MOT test, completed on 21 August 2026, resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the vehicle currently meets all essential DVSA safety and environmental standards, including structural integrity, braking efficiency, and lighting functionality. As the vehicle is relatively new, the absence of historical defects suggests a stable maintenance profile, though the primary focus should remain on verifying that regular preventative maintenance has been carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's schedule. The recorded mileage of 24,485 miles over a three-year period equates to an annual average of approximately 8,162 miles. This level of usage is consistent with typical UK driving patterns and suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive heavy-duty wear or, conversely, prolonged periods of inactivity that can lead to component seizure. Mechanically, this mileage is low enough that major drivetrain components should remain highly reliable, but it is sufficient that consumables such as tyres, suspension bushes, and brake components will have begun to show standard wear progression. Given the clean MOT record, your physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation and time-based maintenance. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of sidewall perishing or cracking, which can occur even with moderate mileage if the vehicle has been stored outdoors. Check the brake discs for any signs of heavy corrosion or uneven surface wear, and listen for any binding or rhythmic clicking from the calipers during a low-speed test drive. It is also important to confirm that time-sensitive items, such as brake fluid replacement and cabin air filter changes, have been addressed, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage electric vehicles. Finally, perform a visual check of the underbody to ensure there is no evidence of impact damage to the battery casing or suspension assembly from road debris. During the test drive, pay attention to the steering response and listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension, which could indicate the onset of wear in the control arm bushes or coil springs. Verifying the health of the 12V auxiliary battery is also recommended, as its degradation can affect the vehicle's electronic systems regardless of the high-voltage battery's capacity.
