2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD Electric · LG69 GYB

The 2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT test on 18 November 2025 at 47,941 miles passing with zero defects recorded. The vehicle has consistently returned clean passes across its last three successful tests in October 2023, October 2024, and November 2025, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural faults. The two failed tests on 13 November 2025 and 17 September 2024 both show no defects recorded, suggesting administrative or procedural retests rather than genuine mechanical failures. This pattern points to a well-maintained electric vehicle with no emerging or worsening issues. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,849 miles per year. The jump from 29,495 miles in October 2023 to 36,677 miles in October 2024 represents approximately 7,182 miles in that twelve-month window, followed by a further 11,264 miles between October 2024 and November 2025. That second interval is notably higher, closer to 10,500 miles over thirteen months, which suggests a change in ownership or a shift toward heavier use. The narrow eight-mile gap between the failed test on 13 November 2025 and the pass on 18 November 2025 confirms the retest was conducted within days, reinforcing that the failure was procedural rather than mechanical. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas the MOT does not deeply assess. The high-performance AWD drivetrain and rapid acceleration place additional stress on tyres, so tread depth and uneven wear patterns across all four corners deserve close attention. Suspension components including bushes, drop links, and anti-roll bar links should be inspected for play or deterioration, as Tesla's heavy battery pack and firm suspension setup can accelerate wear on these parts. Brake discs and pads on electric vehicles often show surface corrosion due to reduced friction use from regenerative braking, so visual inspection for pitting or lipping is worthwhile. Finally, the vehicle's structural battery pack mounting points and subframe should be checked for any signs of corrosion or impact damage, as these are critical to long-term structural integrity and are not always visible during a standard MOT inspection.
