2020 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · M70 VAY

A consistent record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle's recent history, with the most recent test on 28 November 2025 showing no defects. While the overall trend is one of stability, a single advisory regarding tyre wear was noted during the 11 November 2024 inspection. This specific advisory identified the offside front tyre as being worn close to the legal limit and specifically worn on the inner edge. This pattern suggests that while the vehicle generally meets all structural and safety standards, there has been at least one instance of uneven component wear that warrants attention. The recorded mileage of 51,216 miles over a six-year period represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 8,536 miles. This usage profile is typical for a vehicle of this age and indicates a consistent, moderate driving pattern rather than heavy commercial use or long periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this level of mileage suggests that while major drivetrain components are unlikely to have reached their end-of-life, consumables such as suspension bushes, brake pads, and tyres will be entering a phase of more frequent replacement. Given the advisory for inner edge tyre wear recorded in late 2024, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension and steering geometry. Uneven wear on the inner edge of a tyre is often a symptom of incorrect camber angles or worn suspension components. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering response and listen for any knocks or knocks from the front end when navigating uneven surfaces or speed bumps. Any pulling to one side or a wandering sensation through the steering wheel could indicate that the underlying cause of the tyre wear, such as a worn control arm bush or a misaligned steering rack, has not been fully rectified. Beyond the steering and suspension, the absence of recorded defects in the most recent 2025 test suggests that the vehicle's primary safety systems are currently compliant. However, because the mileage is approaching the 50,000-mile mark, it is prudent to check the condition of the braking system. While no brake-related advisories have been issued, the driver should feel for any pedal judder or vibrations under braking, which can indicate disc thickness issues or uneven pad wear. Ensuring the tyre tread depth and evenness across all four corners are within acceptable limits will confirm if the previous alignment issue was a one-off occurrence or a recurring mechanical fault.
