2024 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electric · MS05 MES

This vehicle currently has no recorded DVSA MOT history, which is expected given its 2024 registration date as it has not yet reached the three year threshold for its first mandatory inspection. Consequently, it is impossible to establish a maintenance trend or identify recurring mechanical failures through official government records. The vehicle should still be covered under the manufacturer warranty, which provides a baseline of structural and electrical security, but the absence of independent testing means the buyer must rely entirely on service records and a physical inspection. The recorded mileage is currently unknown, preventing a definitive analysis of the annual usage rate or the identification of any abnormal mileage accumulation. For a vehicle of this age, high mileage would necessitate a closer look at tyre tread depth and suspension component wear due to the significant curb weight of the battery pack. Conversely, very low usage can be equally problematic for electric vehicles, potentially leading to battery stagnation or the degradation of auxiliary components that require regular cycling to remain operational. Given the lack of a defect history, the inspection should focus on wear items common to heavy electric vehicles. Pay close attention to the tyre sidewalls for perishing or cracking if the car has been stationary, and examine the tread for uneven wear which may indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. During the test drive, listen for any clunks or knocks from the front suspension and ensure there is no steering vibration. Particular attention should be paid to the braking system; because regenerative braking reduces the use of friction brakes, the brake discs are prone to surface corrosion and the calipers can occasionally bind, which may be felt as a shudder or a lack of smooth deceleration. Finally, verify the health of the 12V auxiliary battery, as failure here can immobilise the vehicle regardless of the main traction battery state of charge. Check the cabin and boot for any signs of moisture ingress, and ensure that all electronic interfaces and charging ports operate without hesitation. While electric motors require less maintenance than internal combustion engines, you should confirm that the brake fluid has been checked or replaced according to the manufacturer time based intervals to prevent moisture contamination. A thorough review of the vehicle digital service history and software update logs is essential to ensure all recall campaigns have been addressed.
