2022 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electric · ML22 ACU

This Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus has passed its most recent MOT test on 23 March 2026 with no defects recorded at 15,710 miles , confirming it remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has not experienced any recurring mechanical or structural issues during its brief MOT history. However, the test was conducted just four months ago , meaning the vehicle has not yet reached the standard 12-month MOT renewal window. While this provides a recent snapshot, the limited data prevents a long-term assessment of wear patterns beyond this single pass. The recorded mileage of 15,710 miles over approximately four years—roughly 3,928 miles per annum —is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given its electric nature, which typically sees higher usage due to range concerns. The lack of intermediate mileage readings or prior MOTs makes it impossible to confirm whether this low mileage reflects consistent light use or prolonged periods of non-operation. Without additional service records, there is no way to verify if critical components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers have been inspected or replaced beyond what the MOT would have caught. Given the sparse MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension integrity , particularly the rear coil springs and bushes , which are common wear points in low-mileage EVs where corrosion or fatigue may still develop despite minimal use. The brake system , including discs, pads, and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or binding—though the MOT’s lack of defects suggests no immediate failure. Given the vehicle’s age, high-voltage battery health and thermal management systems warrant scrutiny, as early degradation can occur even with low mileage if the car has been stored improperly. Finally, tyre condition and wheel alignment should be verified, as electric vehicles often experience uneven tyre wear due to torque distribution and regenerative braking.
