2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electricity · MM72 OBB

The most recent MOT test conducted on 17 February 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the vehicle's primary safety systems, including lighting, braking, and structural integrity, were all found to be in an acceptable condition at the time of inspection. While the MOT history is currently limited due to the vehicle's age, the lack of any noted issues suggests a stable maintenance profile thus far, though a lack of historical data means we cannot yet establish a long-term pattern of component degradation. The recorded mileage of 14,088 miles indicates an annual usage rate of approximately 4,696 miles, which is notably low for a three-year-old vehicle. This low-mileage profile suggests the car has been used primarily for short trips or has spent significant periods stationary. From a mechanical perspective, this reduces wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and braking assemblies, but it introduces different risks associated with infrequent use, such as the degradation of rubber components and the potential for fluid stagnation. As the MOT record is clean and the mileage is low, your physical inspection should prioritise age-related and stationary-use issues rather than wear-and-tear. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing, sidewall cracking, or dry rot, which are common in vehicles that are not driven regularly. Check the brake discs for excessive surface corrosion or pitting and listen for any signs of binding calipers or unusual noises during the test drive. It is also important to check the condition of the suspension, specifically looking for any signs of perishing in the rubber bushes or movement in the coil springs that might indicate the onset of age-related fatigue. Finally, pay close attention to the vehicle's electrical and thermal management systems. Verify the health of the 12V auxiliary battery, as these can lose capacity when a vehicle is left standing for long periods. Ensure that the service history confirms any manufacturer-mandated inspections, as electric vehicles still require periodic checks of coolant levels and thermal management components to prevent fluid degradation. During your test drive, listen for any unusual vibrations or electrical humming that could indicate issues with the drive units or the battery housing, ensuring that the low mileage has not masked any underlying issues caused by inactivity.
