Our Verdict
A solid option for an electric vehicle b
When inspecting this specific Model 3, ensure that the tyre tread depth is sufficient across all four wheels, as the 2024 MOT failure was specifically due to the offside front tyre being below the 1.6mm legal limit. Given the vehicle's electric nature, check that all software updates are current and that the charging port is in good condition.
Ask the seller for documentation regarding the replacement of the tyre mentioned in the 2024 failure. While the 2025 MOT was clean, verifying the quality of maintenance during that period is a sensible step for any used EV buyer.
As an electric vehicle, running costs are primarily driven by electricity consumption and insurance. The Model 3 Standard Range + is generally efficient, though actual costs will depend on your home charging setup versus public rapid chargers.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve tyres, cabin filters, and brake fluid checks, as there are no oil changes or spark plugs to consider. Expect typical annual running costs to be lower than a comparable petrol or diesel vehicle, though insurance groups for Teslas can be higher than average.
A key point of inspection for this vehicle is the tyre condition. The MOT history shows a failure in November 2024 for an offside front tyre with tread below 1.6mm. You should inspect all tyres for uneven wear, which can sometimes indicate alignment issues common in high-torque electric vehicles.
Additionally, note that the 2024 MOT inspection was partially obstructed by a nearside rear child seat. While this was noted as preventing a full inspection of the adult belt, you should manually check the tension and condition of all rear seatbelts to ensure they are fully functional and unobstructed.
This 2021 Red Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + has covered 30,943 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. The mileage is slightly below the model average of 10,328 miles per year, placing it at roughly 3.7 years of age. While it experienced a failure in 2024 due to a tyre tread depth issue, the most recent test in 2025 passed with no defects recorded.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 87.3% average MOT pass rate, with tyres being a primary reason for failure across the sample.
