2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · ML22 KLU

The most recent MOT carried out on 29 April 2026 recorded a full pass with no recorded defects, and the preceding test on 1 July 2025 also returned a clean result. This uninterrupted succession of passes indicates a stable maintenance pattern, with no emerging safety‑critical faults or recurring advisories evident in the official record. The absence of any deterioration between the two examinations suggests that the vehicle’s core systems – suspension, braking, lighting and structural components – have been kept in a condition that satisfies the DVSA’s safety criteria. At 23 652 miles after just under four years on the road, the Model 3 averages roughly 5 900 miles per annum, well below the typical UK usage of 10‑12 000 miles per year for a comparable family saloon. Such modest annual mileage can be a positive sign of reduced wear on consumables, yet it may also imply periods of prolonged inactivity. Extended stand‑still can accelerate tyre sidewall perishing, encourage brake disc surface corrosion, and allow moisture to settle in electronic connectors, all of which are time‑related rather than mileage‑related concerns. For a prospective buyer, the first visual inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres, looking for cracks, dry rot or uneven tread that may have developed despite low mileage. Examine the wheel rims for corrosion, particularly around the lug bolts, and verify that the tyre pressure sensors are functional. Inspect the under‑carriage for any signs of rust on the chassis rails, suspension arms and brake caliper mounting points, as standing exposure to damp environments can promote surface corrosion even on a low‑kilometre vehicle. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for any cracking or leakage of dampening fluid, and listen for any clunk or squeak when the car is gently rocked over bumps during a short test drive. Given the vehicle’s electric drivetrain, the primary consumable is the high‑voltage battery pack. Request a recent battery health report from the manufacturer or a qualified service centre, confirming that the state‑of‑charge capacity remains within the expected range for a 2022 model. Verify that the 12 V auxiliary battery is not excessively aged, as it powers the vehicle’s safety and comfort systems. Ensure that all software updates have been applied, and that the service book shows regular inspections, especially of the brake pads and discs, which, although subject to regenerative braking, still experience wear. Finally, confirm that the coolant for the power‑train inverter and the brake fluid have been replaced according to the manufacturer’s calendar schedule, as these fluids degrade with time irrespective of mileage.
