2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electricity · ML22 ABN

The Tesla Model Y in question demonstrates a stable and exemplary roadworthiness record, with both recent MOT tests—conducted on 5 March 2025 and 5 March 2026—resulting in clean passes at 33,858 and 43,539 miles respectively. No defects, advisories, or failings were recorded during either test, indicating the vehicle has undergone consistent compliance with UK roadworthiness standards over the past two years. The absence of recurring issues suggests that previous owners have adhered to scheduled maintenance, though an in-person inspection remains essential to verify the condition of non-MOT-tested components such as high-voltage battery health, thermal management systems, and software updates. The recorded mileage of 43,539 miles over four years equates to an average of approximately 10,885 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage between tests, as the vehicle progressed from 33,858 to 43,539 miles in precisely one year. This consistency implies steady usage without prolonged periods of disuse, which could otherwise accelerate wear on fluids, seals, or suspension components. However, the sparse MOT history—limited to two tests—does not provide insight into earlier maintenance practices or potential pre-existing issues that may not have been MOT-relevant. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, particularly the condition of coil springs, subframe mounts, and steering rack bushes, as these are common wear items not routinely assessed in MOT tests. The braking system, while not flagged in the MOT, should be scrutinised for uneven pad wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on brake discs—especially if the vehicle has experienced wet or salted road exposure. Additionally, the high-voltage battery and its thermal management system warrant professional verification, as degradation in these areas is not detectable through standard MOT procedures. Finally, a thorough check for corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and underbody panels is advisable, given the vehicle’s age and exposure to UK road conditions.
