2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electricity · MA72 PXM

The vehicle most recently underwent its DVSA MOT inspection on 28 August 2025 and was recorded as a PASS with no defects or advisories noted by the tester. With only a single test outcome on file, it is not possible to identify any longitudinal trend in the maintenance pattern, whether improving, stable, or deteriorating. However, the clean result on a four-year-old vehicle with reasonable mileage suggests that, at the time of test, the inspector did not identify any immediate concerns with lighting, suspension, braking, steering, tyres, or emissions that would warrant attention. For a prospective buyer, this is a broadly positive indicator, though it is important to remember that the MOT represents a minimum legal standard at a single point in time and does not guarantee mechanical perfection across all components. The recorded mileage of 36,667 miles over an approximate four-year period equates to an annual usage of around 9,167 miles, which is broadly typical for a privately owned vehicle in the UK. This level of usage is generally considered moderate, indicating that the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than left standing for prolonged periods or subjected to excessively high wear. The mileage progression does not raise any immediate mechanical red flags, and the consistent annual accumulation suggests the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components have experienced a steady, predictable rate of wear. There are no significant gaps in recorded mileage that would suggest long periods of inactivity, which is beneficial for a Tesla Model Y given the potential issues associated with extended standing, such as brake disc corrosion from lack of use. Given the relatively clean MOT history and moderate mileage, a prospective buyer should focus on age and usage-related inspection points that the MOT may not fully capture. The Tesla Model Y uses regenerative braking extensively, which can lead to rear brake disc corrosion and potential caliper seizure from infrequent manual braking application, even at moderate mileages, so it is prudent to listen for any binding, rubbing, or grinding from the brakes during a test drive and to verify the calipers release freely. Tyre condition should be examined closely for both tread depth and, importantly, sidewall perishing or cracking from age, as the tyres on a 2022 vehicle may be approaching the five-to-six-year point where rubber degradation becomes more pronounced regardless of remaining tread. The 12V auxiliary battery, which supports systems beyond the main traction pack, can fail without warning on Teslas and should be checked for health, and the high-voltage battery pack state of health should ideally be confirmed through a diagnostic report or Tesla app data. Service history verification is particularly important for this vehicle, as Tesla does not follow a traditional combustion-engine service schedule but recommends periodic checks of brake fluid, cabin air filter, and other consumables. Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should typically be replaced every two to three years regardless of mileage, so a prospective buyer should confirm when this was last carried out. The cooling system for the high-voltage battery and motors should be inspected for any signs of leakage or degradation, and a thorough underbody examination for corrosion is advisable, particularly around suspension mounting points and subframes, even on a relatively young EV. Finally, a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with Tesla vehicles would be highly recommended to access proprietary diagnostic data and confirm the overall condition of the powertrain and associated control systems.
