Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When purchasing this vehicle, focus on the condition of the tyres and alloy wheels. Given that 'tyre' and 'road wheel fractured' are among the top MOT failure reasons for the Model 3, ensure there are no buckles in the rims or uneven wear on the tread. Check that the vehicle has been kept up to date with Tesla's over-the-air software updates.
Verify the charging hardware and cable condition. While the MOT history is clean, the mileage is higher than the model average, so you should request any available records of battery health checks or professional inspections to ensure the high usage has been managed correctly.
Running costs for this electric vehicle are primarily driven by electricity tariffs and insurance. While it avoids fuel excise duty, buyers should be aware of the insurance group for the Model 3, which can be higher than equivalent petrol cars due to specialised repair requirements.
Maintenance is generally lower than internal combustion engines, but the high torque and weight of the Model 3 often lead to more frequent tyre replacements. Expect annual costs to be dominated by insurance and energy, with occasional spend on consumables like tyres and cabin filters.
Pay close attention to the alloy wheels and tyre sidewalls; 'road wheel fractured' is a known common failure point for this model. Inspect the windscreen for any chips or cracks, as 'driver s view' obstructions are a frequent cause of MOT failures across the Model 3 range.
Check the door handles and window seals for proper operation. Although this specific vehicle passed its MOT without defects, these are common areas of wear. Ensure the charging port closes and opens smoothly and that the interior materials show wear consistent with the 42,330 recorded miles.
This Grey Tesla Model 3, first registered in January 2023, has recorded 42,330 miles as of its October 2025 MOT. The vehicle passed its first MOT test with no defects recorded. Based on aggregate data for over 33,000 Model 3s, the model maintains a high average pass rate of 89.3%.
The Model 3 demonstrates a strong reliability reputation with an 89.3% MOT pass rate across a large sample size of 33,349 vehicles.
