2023 Tesla Model 3 Electric · LG23 RSD

Approaching tyre tread limits on all four wheels defines the current road‑worthiness picture; the 16 June 2026 MOT was passed but recorded advisories flag both front and rear tyres as worn close to the legal minimum and showing edge wear. No other failures or advisories appear in the record, so the only immediate mechanical concern stems from tyre condition. At 58 772 mi the car averages roughly 19 600 mi per year, a mileage rate that exceeds typical usage for a three‑year‑old vehicle. This level of accumulation suggests accelerated wear on consumable items such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension components, and it reduces the remaining service life of those parts compared with a lower‑mileage example. The MOT history shows no testing gaps, indicating the vehicle has been regularly inspected despite the high mileage. Prospective buyers should verify tyre depth with a tread‑depth gauge, confirming at least 1.6 mm across the tread width and checking for uniform wear across the tyre face and sidewalls. Uneven wear patterns may point to mis‑aligned steering or worn suspension bushes, so a visual inspection for cuts, cracks, or bulges is warranted. During a low‑speed test drive, listen for any thumping or vibration that intensifies when the vehicle is cornered, as these can indicate tyre or wheel imbalance. Given the mileage, also examine the brake discs and pads for glazing, scoring, or reduced thickness, and feel for pedal judder or a spongy brake response under moderate braking. Inspect the front and rear suspension for any looseness in ball joints, worn bushings, or squeaking when driving over bumps, as high mileage can accelerate these wear points. A brief steering check for pull to one side or a vague vibration at higher speeds will help confirm the overall condition of the steering and suspension assemblies.
