Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Given the mileage of 65,774, you should prioritise a check of the battery health and charging port functionality. Ensure that the TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) light mentioned in the November 2025 MOT has been addressed, as this is a specific point of note for this vehicle.
Check the service history for any software updates or hardware recalls performed by Tesla. When negotiating, consider the higher-than-average mileage compared to the model aggregate, as this may impact the long-term battery warranty remaining on the vehicle.
As an electric vehicle, fuel costs are significantly lower than internal combustion alternatives, though these will vary based on your home charging setup. Maintenance is generally lower due to the absence of oil changes and exhaust systems, though tyres are a known high-wear item for this model.
Annual costs will be dominated by insurance and tyre replacement. Based on the model's weight and torque, tyre budgets should be higher than for a standard saloon. The estimated annual running cost is relatively low compared to petrol equivalents.
Pay close attention to the tyres; aggregate data for the Model 3 identifies tyres as the top MOT failure reason. Check for uneven wear or low tread depth across all four wheels. Specifically, investigate the cause of the TPMS light advisory from the most recent MOT to ensure there isn't a deeper sensor or valve issue.
Inspect the white exterior paintwork for stone chips, particularly on the front bumper and bonnet, which are common on high-mileage vehicles. Finally, test all interior electronics and the central touchscreen for responsiveness.
This white 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + has recorded 65,774 miles across its history. It has passed both of its MOT tests, with the most recent test in November 2025 noting a TPMS light advisory. The vehicle has covered more distance than the typical Model 3, which averages 10,328 miles per year.
The Model 3 shows a solid reliability trend with an average MOT pass rate of 87.3%, though tyre wear is the most common point of failure.
