2025 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electric · LM20 CSM

As the vehicle is a 2025 model and the current date is September 2026, it has not yet reached the three-year threshold required for its first mandatory UK MOT test. Therefore, there is no official DVSA test history available to evaluate maintenance trends, recurring defects, or the vehicle's historical structural integrity. The absence of a record is entirely normal for a vehicle of this age, but it means the buyer must rely heavily on a physical inspection and the manufacturer's service records rather than a documented history of regulatory compliance. There is currently insufficient mileage data to establish an annual usage rate or to determine if the vehicle has been subject to rapid accumulation or long periods of inactivity. Without a comparative mileage history, it is impossible to assess whether the vehicle has been used for heavy-duty long-distance travel or light urban driving. It is essential to cross-reference the current odometer reading with the service book stamps and any digital service logs to ensure the mileage is consistent and that no significant gaps in usage exist that could suggest the vehicle has been sitting stationary for prolonged periods. Because the vehicle is relatively new, the inspection should focus on time-based degradation and physical condition rather than heavy mechanical wear. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of sidewall perishing or cracking, which can occur if the vehicle has been stored in suboptimal conditions or has seen very little movement. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not binding, as electric vehicles can suffer from brake oxidation if they are not driven frequently enough to clear the surfaces. While electric vehicles have fewer traditional mechanical components, you should verify that time-sensitive maintenance, such as cabin filter changes and brake fluid inspections, has been carried out according to the manufacturer's schedule. During the test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension, such as clunks or knocks that might suggest issues with the bushes or coil springs, although this is rare for a vehicle of this age. Monitor the regenerative braking for smoothness and listen for any abnormal whining or humming from the electric motors or reduction gears. Finally, confirm the health of the 12V auxiliary battery and check the main high-voltage battery's state of health through the onboard diagnostics to ensure there is no premature degradation, as these are critical to the vehicle's overall operational reliability.
