Our Verdict

This is a very recent vehicle with virtu

Since this vehicle was first registered in March 2026, it will not be due for its first MOT until 2031. Therefore, your primary focus should be on the manufacturer's warranty status and the digital service records provided by Tesla. Ensure you can verify the remaining balance of the battery and drive unit warranty, as this is a critical component of the vehicle's long-term value.

When negotiating, ask for proof of any software updates or recent maintenance performed under warranty. Because the vehicle is so new, you should also check for any outstanding manufacturer recalls that may apply to the 2026 Model Y production run. Unlike older used cars, there is no MOT history to use as a lever for price negotiation, so focus on the physical condition and remaining warranty period.

As an all-electric Model Y RWD, running costs are primarily driven by electricity consumption and insurance. Charging costs will vary significantly depending on whether you use home charging tariffs or public rapid chargers. Tax for electric vehicles in the UK is currently subject to specific regulations, so check the current status for the 2026 tax year.

Maintenance costs for this model are typically lower than internal combustion engine vehicles due to fewer moving parts, though tyres can be a significant expense. Based on model aggregate data, tyres are a top reason for MOT failures in this category, suggesting they should be budgeted for. Expect annual running costs to be relatively predictable compared to petrol or diesel alternatives.

With no MOT history available to highlight previous issues, a thorough physical inspection is essential. Pay close attention to the tyres; aggregate data for the Model Y indicates that tyres are a common failure point, so check for uneven wear or sidewall damage.

Additionally, inspect the suspension components. Data from over 42,000 analysed vehicles shows that suspension arms are a frequent reason for MOT failures in this model range. While this is a new vehicle, checking for any premature bushing wear or noise during a test drive is a prudent step. Finally, ensure the grey paintwork is free of any transit or minor cosmetic damage common in newer vehicles.

Registered in March 2026, this Grey Tesla Model Y RWD is a nearly new vehicle with no recorded MOT history due to its recent registration. As a 2026 model, it sits well within the period where manufacturer warranties are typically most robust. While there is no individual vehicle history to review, the aggregate data for this model shows an 88.7% average MOT pass rate across 42,443 analysed units.

Aggregate data from 42,443 vehicles shows a strong average MOT pass rate of 88.7%, though tyres and suspension arms are noted as common failure points.
