2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · MM71 DXD

Immediate attention to tyre condition and the tyre pressure monitoring system is required following the most recent MOT pass on 30 January 2026. While the vehicle demonstrated a clean record in early 2025, the latest inspection introduced specific advisories regarding tyre wear and integrity, marking a shift from a defect-free status to one requiring monitoring of consumables. The presence of an offside front inner tyre worn close to the legal limit and an offside front outer tyre with a cut indicates that the vehicle's contact patches are nearing the end of their serviceable life. The recorded mileage of 36,658 miles over approximately four years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 9,164 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical UK driving profiles for a vehicle of this age, suggesting steady rather than intensive or sporadic use. Mechanically, this level of mileage means that while major drivetrain components are unlikely to have reached end-of-life, wear on consumable items such as suspension bushes, brake pads, and tyres is expected to be progressing at a standard rate. A prospective buyer should focus specifically on the front axle during a test drive to investigate the cause of the uneven tyre wear. The advisory for the offside front inner tyre being worn on the edge can often be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment, camber issues, or worn suspension components such as control arm bushes or tie rod ends. During the test drive, listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when navigating uneven surfaces and check for any pulling to one side when the steering wheel is released on a level road, which would indicate an alignment or steering geometry fault. The advisory regarding the tyre pressure monitoring system remaining active should also be addressed. This can stem from a faulty sensor, a slow puncture, or a calibration issue within the vehicle's software. Ensure that all four tyres are checked for consistent pressure and that the warning does not reappear during operation. Additionally, the cut on the offside front outer tyre, while not currently reaching the cords, should be monitored for any signs of further degradation or bulging, which could compromise the structural integrity of the tyre sidewall.
