2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD Electric · ML74 LLN

The DVSA MOT database contains no record of any test being performed on this 2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD, so there is no recent MOT outcome to reference and consequently no trend in maintenance performance can be established from official sources. In the absence of a documented history, any assessment of the vehicle’s condition must rely entirely on a physical inspection and any private service documentation the seller can provide. Mileage for the car has not been disclosed, which prevents a direct comparison of usage against its two‑year age. A typical UK driver averages between 8,000 and 12,000 miles per year, and an electric vehicle of this class often records lower figures due to the prevalence of short‑range urban trips. If the odometer, when available, shows a figure substantially below the expected range, the car may have been lightly used and could be subject to age‑related issues such as tyre perishing or battery calendar degradation. Conversely, a markedly high reading would suggest intensive use, which could accelerate wear on the regenerative braking system, tyre tread, and suspension components. For a vehicle of this age with limited mileage, the buyer should give particular attention to tyre condition; even if tread depth appears adequate, sidewall cracking, dry rot or hardening of the rubber can develop after four to five years regardless of distance travelled. Inspect the tyres for any uneven wear that might indicate mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes, and verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system is functional. The high‑voltage battery should be examined with a dealer‑level diagnostic to confirm that capacity remains within the manufacturer’s specifications and that there are no error codes relating to cell balance, thermal management or charging limits. While the Model 3 does not have conventional coolant or engine oil, the low‑voltage 12 V battery and the coolant for the inverter and motor should be checked for proper level and signs of corrosion, as time‑based fluid degradation can affect auxiliary systems. Finally, confirm that the vehicle’s software is up to date and that any outstanding Tesla service campaigns or safety recalls have been completed, as these often address issues such as steering rack wear, suspension bushings or brake caliper performance. Examine the brake discs and pads for any uneven wear or glazing, remembering that the regenerative system reduces mechanical braking but does not eliminate wear entirely. A thorough visual inspection of the underbody for rust, especially around the wheel arches and suspension mounting points, is advisable even on a relatively new EV, as exposure to road salt can cause early corrosion. Verify the presence of a full service history, preferably with Tesla‑approved service centre stamps, and ensure that the original charging cable and any home‑charging equipment are in good condition, as these are integral to the long‑term reliability of an electric vehicle.
