2022 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electric · ML22 AEC

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by two consecutive MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 4 March 2026 at 53,316 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum safety and environmental requirements without immediate failure during the testing process. The mileage pattern reflects significant use for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,300 miles per annum. Between the March 2025 test at 38,493 miles and the March 2026 test, the car covered 14,823 miles in a single year. This consistent accumulation suggests regular long-distance driving rather than periods of inactivity, which typically places more predictable stress on suspension components and bushings compared to low-mileage examples. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. A buyer should examine the front suspension, specifically control arm bushes and coil springs for signs of premature wear or cracking, which are common in heavy electric vehicles. The braking system also warrants a check for uneven wear or sticking calipers, as regenerative braking in Teslas can sometimes lead to surface corrosion if mechanical brakes are used infrequently. The structural integrity of the underbody should be visually confirmed for any impact damage from road debris, given the high mileage profile. While the MOT record shows no history of corrosion or structural failure, the age and mileage combination necessitate a close look at tyre tread depth and sidew condition to ensure consumables are not nearing the end of their operational life.
