2022 Tesla Model Y RWD Electricity · MM72 FVV

The most recent DVSA examination dated 24 November 2025 resulted in a PASS classification, with no advisories or defects recorded against the vehicle. While a clean pass at the most recent test is certainly reassuring and confirms that the vehicle met the statutory roadworthiness standards on the day of inspection, the MOT history available is limited to this single recorded event. The absence of any prior advisories or recurring defect patterns prevents a longer-term trend analysis, meaning the maintenance trajectory cannot be definitively classified as stable, worsening, or improving. For a prospective buyer, this clean result should be viewed as a positive baseline, but it should not be interpreted as a comprehensive guarantee of mechanical condition, particularly given the high mileage the vehicle has accrued relative to its age. With a recorded odometer reading of 76,225 miles on a 2022 model year vehicle, the annual mileage equates to approximately 19,056 miles per year, which is substantially above the UK national average and indicative of intensive use. Such consistent and elevated mileage places considerable demand on wear-prone components including brake friction materials, tyres, suspension bushes and linkages, and the single-speed transmission. For a battery electric vehicle such as the Tesla Model Y, high mileage also implies frequent high-current charging cycles and numerous discharge cycles, which can accelerate long-term battery degradation. A buyer should request battery health diagnostic data and consider the implications of mileage on the HV battery warranty, drivetrain components, and general service intervals already passed. Given that the MOT record is clean and reveals no advisories, the buyer inspection should focus on mileage- and calendar-based wear factors that an MOT would not necessarily capture. A thorough physical inspection should include a careful check of the tyres for tread depth, uneven wear patterns that may indicate suspension geometry or alignment issues, and any signs of kerb damage. Although the tyres may have covered substantial mileage, they should also be examined for age-related perishing or cracking on the sidewalls, as four-year-old rubber can degrade even with remaining tread. Brake discs should be visually inspected for scoring, lipping, or corrosion, and calipers checked for smooth operation, as high mileage combined with the regenerative braking strategy of an electric vehicle can lead to rear brake corrosion from reduced mechanical use. The 12V auxiliary battery, which powers ancillary systems, should be tested for state of health as these units typically require replacement within three to five years regardless of mileage. Further inspection priorities should include verifying the presence of a complete service history with documented brake fluid changes, cabin filter replacements, and any Tesla-specific software updates or recalls that have been addressed. On a test drive, the buyer should listen carefully for any suspension knocks or clonks over uneven road surfaces, which can indicate worn anti-roll bar links, control arm bushes, or top mounts given the high mileage. Steering should feel precise without vibration, and any pulling to one side could suggest geometry misalignment or uneven tyre pressures. The high-voltage system should be monitored for any warning messages, and charging performance should be evaluated to ensure the vehicle charges at expected rates. Attention should also be directed to the underside of the vehicle for any signs of fluid leakage, corrosion on suspension components, or damage to undertrays, particularly given the high annual mileage which accelerates general wear across all mechanical systems.
