2020 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · MU55 HTK

This Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD demonstrates a consistently stable roadworthiness record over the past three annual MOT tests, each concluding with a clean pass and no recorded defects at the January 2026 inspection. The absence of advisories or failings across these cycles suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, if not meticulous, maintenance, with no evidence of recurring mechanical or structural issues. The most recent test, conducted just seven months ago, aligns with the typical 12-month MOT cycle, indicating the vehicle remains within the standard compliance window for its age and mileage. The recorded mileage of 60,862 miles over approximately six years—roughly 10,144 miles annually—falls within the expected range for a vehicle of this age, though it leans slightly higher than the average UK annual mileage for comparable models. There are no gaps in MOT history that would imply prolonged neglect, nor are there abrupt spikes in mileage between tests to suggest aggressive driving or deferred maintenance. The steady progression of mileage, combined with the clean MOT results, implies the vehicle has been used consistently without extreme conditions or heavy loads that might accelerate wear. Given the lack of recorded faults, an in-person inspection should prioritise high-wear components typical for this mileage and age. The suspension system—particularly the coil springs, bushings, and struts—should be examined for uneven wear or binding, as electric vehicles often experience subtle suspension degradation over time. Brake components, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear patterns or signs of overheating, though the absence of failings in prior tests suggests no immediate cause for concern. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and wheel arch integrity, should also be checked, especially given the vehicle’s exposure to UK road conditions. Finally, the battery and cooling system, while not MOT-tested, should be assessed for any fluid leaks or degradation in performance, as these are critical to the vehicle’s longevity and safety.
