2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electricity · MA02 CRO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on January 22 2026 at 49,690 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a marked improvement following a significant failure in mid-2025. While the previous test identified multiple tyre-related failures, the latest pass indicates that these issues were addressed and the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. At 49,690 miles over four years, this Tesla has averaged approximately 12,422 miles per annum. This exceeds the UK national average for a passenger car and suggests consistent long-distance use rather than short-city commuting. Between the July 2025 test and the January 2026 test, the car covered 5,587 miles in just six months. This rapid mileage accumulation places accelerated stress on wear components, particularly the suspension bushings, bushings, and braking system. The failure on July 12, 2025 at 44,103 miles reveals a period of neglect regarding tyre condition. The tester flagged two front tyres with deep cuts reaching the cords and an offside rear tyre worn down to the 3mm legal limit. These faults suggest either poor alignment geometry or physical damage from road debris. A buyer should inspect the current tyre set for uneven wear or sidewall damage to ensure the previous issues do not recur due to an unresolved alignment problem. Given the high mileage and the heavy nature of the EV, a physical inspection of the lower control arms and suspension components is essential. Electric vehicles exert significant torque on the drivetrain assembly, which can lead to premature rubber degradation. You should also check the brake calipers and rotors for corrosion, as high-mileage EVs often experience surface-level pitting if the mechanical brakes are not used frequently due to regenerative braking.
