2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electric · LF71 VVA

The 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range+ presents a mixed maintenance history, with the most recent MOT test on 2025-09-30 at 50,176 miles showing a pass, albeit with a minor issue of the rear boot lid being slightly loose. However, the preceding test on 2025-09-09 at the same mileage had failed due to several issues, indicating a potential decline in maintenance quality. The presence of a failed test with multiple faults, followed by a pass with a minor advisory, suggests an inconsistent approach to maintaining the vehicle. The mileage pattern for this vehicle appears typical for its age, with approximately 10,035 miles accumulated per year. From 2021 to 2024, the vehicle covered around 37,011 miles, which translates to roughly 9,252 miles per year. The next year's mileage accumulation up to the 2025 tests seems consistent with this pattern, showing no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or extended periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint, which was flagged as likely to become detached in the 2025-09-09 test. Additionally, the nearside rear suspension arm pin or bush, which was worn but not excessively, warrants attention. The tyre condition, having been reported as worn close to the legal limit on both sides, suggests that tyre replacements may be due soon. The malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system also requires investigation to ensure safe operation. The vehicle's history does not indicate any severe structural or mechanical risks that would immediately compromise roadworthiness, but these identified issues should be addressed to ensure continued safe operation and to prevent potential costly repairs.
