2025 Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD Electricity · ML75 HFS

As of the assessment date of 3 September 2026, no DVSA MOT test history is available for this 2025 Tesla Model 3 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive. Under current UK roadworthiness legislation, vehicles first registered on or after the relevant exemption date are not required to undergo compulsory MOT testing until they are three years old, which would place this car outside the mandatory testing threshold until late 2028. Consequently, no pass, fail, or advisory data can be evaluated from official records, and any maintenance trend assessment is not possible at this stage. The absence of MOT data therefore reflects regulatory exemption rather than any indication of mechanical neglect or concern, and the vehicle's roadworthiness status remains formally unverified by DVSA until its first scheduled test. The recorded mileage for this vehicle is not available, and there is insufficient data to make a meaningful comparison between mileage accumulation and the vehicle's age of approximately one year. Without odometer readings from previous service visits or MOT submissions, it is not possible to determine whether this Model 3 has been used for predominantly short urban journeys, longer motorway commutes, or has experienced periods of extended standing. Each of these usage patterns carries distinct mechanical implications for an electric vehicle, including battery cycle degradation from frequent rapid charging, brake disc corrosion and potential caliper seizure resulting from insufficient regenerative deceleration usage, or simply calendar-based wear on consumables such as tyres, wiper blades, and cabin filtration. Prospective buyers should therefore request the full digital service history from Tesla to verify mileage consistency and confirm that any software recalls or hardware inspections have been completed within the manufacturer's prescribed schedule. Given that this vehicle is still within its first year of registration and remains covered by Tesla's comprehensive new vehicle warranty, the most appropriate buyer guidance centres on verifying that the manufacturer has addressed all known build-quality and software issues that have historically affected Model 3 production. A prospective purchaser should confirm that any outstanding Tesla service campaigns relating to suspension components, rear body panel alignment, or high-voltage battery software updates have been completed and logged on the central Tesla system. A thorough pre-purchase physical inspection should include careful examination of the tyres for uneven tread wear, which can indicate suspension geometry misalignment or excessive camber, as well as checking the sidewalls for any perishing or cracking given that even low-mileage tyres degrade from approximately three to five years of age regardless of tread remaining. All four tyres on a Long Range Model 3 should be inspected for matching brand, size, and tread depth to ensure correct rolling circumference, as mismatched tyres can induce drivetrain warning messages and affect the regenerative braking system calibration. Additional age-appropriate checks should focus on the 12-volt auxiliary battery, which in Tesla vehicles is a known service item that can fail prematurely due to the demands of the vehicle's electrical architecture, often presenting symptoms such as inconsistent wake behaviour, random warning messages, or difficulty in charging initiation. The high-voltage traction battery state of health should be verified through a diagnostic readout at a Tesla-approved service centre, with particular attention to any deviation from the warranted capacity. Brake discs and calipers should be physically inspected for surface corrosion and free movement, as vehicles used predominantly for short journeys with heavy regenerative braking can develop seized caliper sliding pins and pitted discs, producing a pronounced shudder under manual braking. Finally, all fluid systems, including brake fluid and the cooling circuit for the battery and motors, should be confirmed as serviced within Tesla's time-based schedule, with particular emphasis on brake fluid hygroscopic replacement every two years regardless of mileage, as moisture ingress can compromise braking performance in an electric vehicle where the discs may otherwise see minimal mechanical use.
