2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · MJ21 AHC

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD demonstrates a clean and consistent roadworthiness record, with both MOT tests—conducted on 3 July 2025 and 25 March 2024—resulting in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. The most recent test, just under a year ago, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards for emissions, brakes, lights, and structural integrity. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues, and the absence of advisories suggests the vehicle has been maintained according to manufacturer guidelines for critical systems. However, the 2026 test is now overdue, which introduces a temporary uncertainty until the next official assessment. The recorded mileage of 39,326 miles at the time of the last MOT indicates the vehicle has been driven at a steady rate of approximately 7,865 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a car of this age. The gap between tests—15 months between March 2024 and July 2025—is within the standard 12-month MOT cycle, though the earlier test at 25,613 miles suggests the vehicle was driven roughly 13,700 miles in that period. This pattern implies regular use without prolonged periods of inactivity, which could have contributed to accelerated wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. The lack of mileage gaps or abrupt spikes also reduces the likelihood of deferred maintenance or neglect. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items such as the suspension bushes and coil springs, particularly for signs of premature degradation or fluid leaks. The absence of brake-related advisories does not preclude wear on the rear calipers or binding mechanisms, so a thorough check of stopping performance and disc thickness is essential. Additionally, the battery health—critical for electric vehicles—should be assessed, though this is not covered by the MOT. Finally, a visual inspection of the underbody for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and sills, is advisable, as electric vehicles can experience unique thermal and electrical corrosion risks. The vehicle’s overall condition appears stable, but these areas warrant close scrutiny.
