2021 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD Electric · MD21 DDA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive rather than preventative maintenance. While it passed its June 2024 test without any defects, the July 2025 test at 105,219 miles flagged pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs. This transition suggests that the braking components are reaching the end of their functional life, marking a worsening trend in component wear compared to the previous clean record. The mileage profile reflects intensive usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging over 21,000 miles per annum. Between the June 2024 test at 71,651 miles and the July 2025 test at 105,219 miles, the car covered 33,568 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation accelerates the degradation of heavy-duty components and consumables, which is consistent with the high torque output of this Performance model. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system to determine the depth of the disc corrosion and the remaining thickness of the pads. Given the high mileage and the noted disc condition, the suspension geometry should be scrutinized for worn control arms, bushings, and ball joints, which often fatigue prematurely under the stress of heavy electric vehicles. Checking the underbody for any signs of fluid leaks or structural stress is essential to ensure the high annual usage has not compromised the mechanical integrity of the chassis.
