2024 Tesla Model Y Long Range RWD Electric · ML74 LPC

At the time of this assessment, there is no recorded DVSA MOT history available for this 2024 Tesla Model Y Long Range RWD. As the vehicle was first registered in 2024, it would not yet be subject to mandatory MOT testing under current UK legislation, which requires an MOT once a vehicle reaches three years of age. Consequently, no pass or fail outcomes, advisory notices, or recorded defect patterns can be evaluated at this stage, and it is not possible to draw any conclusions about a maintenance trajectory. A clean administrative record at this point simply reflects the vehicle's youth and its exemption from statutory testing rather than any verified mechanical condition. Prospective buyers should not interpret the absence of MOT history as confirmation of roadworthiness and must instead rely on physical inspection and verified service records. The recorded mileage is listed as unknown, and there is insufficient data to compare usage rates against the vehicle's age of approximately two years. Without documented mileages from previous MOT tests or service visits, it is not possible to determine whether the car has been used for high annual mileage, predominantly short urban journeys, or has potentially been subject to periods of standing. Both extremes carry distinct mechanical implications. High mileage on an electric vehicle primarily affects tyre and brake wear, whereas low or irregular use can accelerate degradation of components such as 12V auxiliary batteries, brake discs and calipers through corrosion and binding, and various rubber and plastic items through perishing. Establishing an accurate mileage history from the seller's records or a connected vehicle report is therefore essential. Given the absence of MOT data, a prospective buyer should carry out a focused physical inspection appropriate to a nearly-new electric vehicle. Externally, examine the tyres closely for signs of age-related sidewall perishing or cracking, as even low-wear tyres degrade over time, and verify that all four tyres are of matching specification, as uneven fitment can affect traction control and handling on a dual-motor or high-performance EV. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion, which is common on EVs due to regenerative braking reducing pad application, and confirm that calipers are not seized by ensuring the wheels rotate freely without binding. Check the charging port, door seals, and panoramic glass roof for any signs of water ingress or delamination, and verify the operation of all electronic systems including the central touchscreen, climate control, and driver assistance functions. Additional checks should focus on items that deteriorate through calendar age rather than mileage. The 12V auxiliary battery, which powers ancillary systems on Teslas, typically requires replacement every three to four years and should be tested for state of health, as a depleted unit can cause widespread electronic faults. Inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of fluid leaks, particularly from the cooling system or differential, and examine the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for any premature wear given the vehicle's weight. Request evidence of any software updates and outstanding manufacturer recalls, and verify the high-voltage battery state of health through the vehicle's service menu or an independent diagnostic tool. Finally, ensure that all service book entries or digital service records are present and complete, as consistent manufacturer servicing is critical to maintaining warranty coverage and long-term reliability of the electric drivetrain.
