2022 Tesla Model Y RWD Electricity · MM72 YMU

The vehicle most recently underwent its official DVSA roadworthiness test on 12 January 2026 and was issued a clean pass certificate with no advisories, defects, or failure points recorded against it. With only a single MOT entry available on the official record at present, the maintenance trajectory cannot be determined through comparative trend analysis, although the absence of any flagged items at the most recent examination is a reassuring baseline indicator of general mechanical condition at the time of test. Prospective purchasers should bear in mind that the 2022 Model Y will not require its first MOT until three years after first registration, meaning the 2026 test represents its inaugural assessment under the DVSA regime; the clean result at this early stage is to be expected for a vehicle still within the bulk of its manufacturer warranty coverage, and any underlying issues that may have developed since would not yet be reflected in the official record. The recorded mileage of 39,493 miles against an age of approximately four years equates to an annual accumulation of around 9,873 miles, which sits comfortably within the typical usage band for a modern family SUV of this type. This rate of accumulation suggests the vehicle has been in regular service rather than left standing for extended periods, which is generally beneficial for the longevity of mechanical components such as brake discs, callipers, tyres, and the high-voltage traction battery, all of which can deteriorate through inactivity. Equally, the mileage is not so high as to imply excessive wear on the single-speed reduction gear, suspension bushes, or coil springs. There are no obvious anomalies, gaps, or sudden mileage escalations to raise concern, and the usage profile appears consistent and moderate throughout the vehicle's life. Given the clean MOT record and the absence of any advisories pointing towards brake wear, suspension deterioration, or corrosion, the prospective buyer should nevertheless conduct a thorough physical inspection appropriate to the vehicle's age and EV-specific characteristics. Tyres warrant close examination for uneven shoulder wear, which on a rear-wheel-drive Model Y typically manifests at the rear axle due to torque delivery characteristics, as well as any sidewall perishing or cracking from age even where tread depth remains adequate. Brake discs and callipers should be inspected for signs of corrosion or seizing from the modest braking demand inherent to an EV with regenerative deceleration; a firm application of the friction brakes during a test drive should produce confident, judder-free retardation without pulling to either side. The 12-volt auxiliary battery, which powers ancillary systems on Teslas and is a known failure item independent of the traction pack, should be tested for state of health, as its replacement typically falls outside standard service schedules. Finally, attention should turn to fluid services that degrade through calendar age rather than mileage alone, particularly the brake hydraulic fluid, which is hygroscopic and typically requires replacement every two to three years regardless of use, and the coolant circuits serving both the battery pack and motor assemblies, which carry manufacturer-recommended renewal intervals that should be verified against the service history. The reduction gear oil and any remaining drive unit lubricant should be confirmed as being within service schedule, and the cabin and high-efficiency particulate air filters inspected for replacement history. A test drive should be conducted with careful attention to any unusual noises from the suspension over speed humps or uneven surfaces, which would indicate worn bushes or top mounts, and to the smooth, vibration-free operation of the electric powertrain across the full throttle range. Given the single clean MOT, the moderate mileage, and the absence of any flagged advisories, this vehicle presents a sound basis for purchase provided the standard age and EV-specific due diligence outlined above is carried out prior to commitment.
