2020 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD Electric · MV70 OCX

The Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD shows a consistent and stable roadworthiness trend over the past three MOT cycles, with each test conducted on time and all passing without defects or advisories. The most recent test on 2025-09-08, at 38,845 miles, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK regulations. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues or advisories that would suggest neglect or impending failure in critical systems. The absence of any advisory notes across all three tests further indicates that the vehicle has not required attention to major components like suspension, brakes, or emissions systems during this period. The recorded mileage of 38,845 miles over approximately six years—roughly 6,474 miles annually—falls within the expected range for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage that would raise concern for extended periods of disuse or aggressive driving. The consistent annual mileage suggests regular, moderate use without extreme wear patterns. However, the lack of detailed service history beyond MOT records means critical maintenance intervals—such as battery health checks, high-voltage system inspections, or suspension component replacements—cannot be confirmed from this data alone. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the high-voltage battery system, particularly the cooling and thermal management components, as these are not routinely covered by MOT testing. The suspension should be examined for wear in the coil springs, bushes, and struts, especially if the vehicle has encountered uneven surfaces or potholes. Brake systems, including calipers, pads, and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, though the MOT record does not indicate past issues. Finally, a thorough visual inspection for corrosion—particularly around wheel arches, subframes, and battery compartments—is essential, as electric vehicles can be more susceptible to hidden structural damage from moisture ingress. The absence of advisories does not preclude these areas from requiring attention.
