Our Verdict
This 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range +
When inspecting this Model 3, request proof that the tyres noted in the November 2025 MOT (nearside and offside front worn close to the legal limit, specifically 2mm close to cords on the inner edge) have been rectified. Check the geometry and wheel alignment, as inner-edge tyre wear on Teslas often indicates tracking issues or heavy loads. Additionally, scrutinise the service history for brake fluid checks, cabin air filter replacements, and any remaining manufacturer high-voltage battery warranty coverage.
As an electric vehicle, this Model 3 benefits from zero road tax under current UK VED bands and significantly reduced fuel costs if charged primarily at home using off-peak tariffs. Insurance falls into a higher group typical for high-performance electric saloons, so obtaining quotes prior to purchase is essential. Maintenance costs are generally lower than combustion-engined equivalents due to fewer moving parts, though heavy tyre consumption—as evidenced by the vehicle's MOT history—will be an ongoing recurring expense.
Pay close attention to the nearside rear integral body structure, which was noted during the November 2025 MOT as being deformed though structural rigidity was not significantly reduced. Verify whether this damage has been professionally assessed and repaired. Inspect both front and rear suspension components for premature wear, and check all alloy wheels for kerbing damage which can also affect alignment and tyre longevity.
First registered in November 2021, this grey Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + has covered 33,867 miles, placing its mileage comfortably below the national average for its age based on model data. Its MOT history reveals two passes and one failure, with tyres being the primary point of failure and advisory across multiple tests. Overall, the record shows standard wear typical of an electric saloon of this vintage.
The Tesla Model 3 demonstrates strong aggregate reliability with an 87.3% average MOT pass rate, though tyre wear is nationally recorded as the single top failure reason.
