2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electricity · MM72 KLD

The vehicle was presented for its official DVSA MOT inspection on 13 January 2026 and was issued a Pass certificate with no advisories or failures recorded against any of the tested items, including lighting, steering, suspension, braking, tyres, and exhaust emissions. While a single clean pass is a positive indicator, it should be interpreted cautiously given that this represents only the most recent annual test on record and does not provide a longitudinal trend against which maintenance progression can be measured. In the absence of any previously recorded defects or advisories within the supplied history, the overall maintenance profile appears stable at the point of testing, though a prospective purchaser would benefit from obtaining the complete MOT history to confirm whether any earlier minor advisories concerning brake wear, tyre condition, or suspension components may have been carried forward from previous examinations. With a recorded odometer reading of 51,059 miles over a four-year service life, this Model Y is averaging approximately 12,765 miles per annum, which is notably higher than the typical UK average mileage of around 7,000 to 8,000 miles annually. This elevated rate of use is mechanically significant, as higher mileage typically accelerates wear on consumable items such as tyres, brake pads, brake discs, and the drive units, and places greater cumulative stress on suspension components including coil springs, control arm bushes, and anti-roll bar links. The consistent accumulation of miles without extended standing periods also tends to reduce the risk of certain issues associated with low usage vehicles, such as brake disc corrosion from inactivity, but correspondingly increases the likelihood that wear-related replacements will be required sooner rather than later. No mileage anomalies or significant gaps between records have been identified within the data provided, suggesting a pattern of steady and sustained operation. Given that the MOT history is clean and the mileage profile points to a regularly driven vehicle rather than one left standing, a prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the typical high-wear items associated with higher annual mileage. The tyres should be carefully examined not only for tread depth, which must remain above the legal minimum of 1.6mm across the central three quarters of the tyre, but also for signs of uneven wear across the axle, which could indicate suspension misalignment, worn bushes, or tracking issues. Given the vehicle's weight and twin-motor all-wheel-drive configuration, expect accelerated rear tyre wear relative to the front, and inspect the sidewalls for any perishing or cracking consistent with the calendar age of the rubber compound. Brake discs and pads should be physically inspected for wear margin, and the buyer should be alert to any binding calipers or uneven pad deposition, which can manifest as vehicle pull under braking or excessive drag when the vehicle is in motion. During a test drive, particular attention should be paid to the behaviour of the regenerative and friction braking system, listening for any grinding, squealing, or shudder through the pedal that may indicate worn pads, warped discs, or caliper slider issues. The suspension should be evaluated by driving over uneven surfaces and listening for any clonks, knocks, or rattles from the front and rear axles, which would suggest worn drop links, control arm bushes, or top mount deterioration. Although Tesla vehicles employ relatively minimal fluid service intervals, the brake fluid is hygroscopic and degrades over time, so verification of the last fluid change date is advisable, along with confirmation of the 12V auxiliary battery health, which is a known service item on these vehicles irrespective of the high-voltage traction battery. Finally, the buyer should ensure the service history documentation, including any over-the-air updates and Tesla mobile service records, is fully present and up to date, as this will evidence proper maintenance of the drivetrain, cooling systems, and high-voltage components, all of which fall outside the scope of the standard MOT examination.
