2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electricity · MM21 OPL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 May 2026 at 135,078 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, as the recurring mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The clean sheet from the latest test suggests that the current owner has responded to the advisories and minor failures flagged in the preceding two years. The mileage profile is significantly high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging 27,000 miles per year. Between the June 2024 test at 86,628 miles and the June 2025 test at 109,639 miles, the car covered 23,011 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation indicates heavy annual use, likely for long-distance motorway driving, which places accelerated stress on suspension components, rubber bushings, and control arm bushings compared to average-use vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and lower suspension geometry. The record shows a history of pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs during 2024 and 2025. While these were resolved by the 2026 test, the high mileage increases the likelihood of caliper seal wear or premature pad thinning. Given the heavy usage, a thorough check for play in the front control arms and wear on the rear sub is essential, as these components often degrade on high-mileage electric vehicles.
