2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · MW71 WLE

Emerging wear on the suspension and tyres defines the current mechanical state of this vehicle, as evidenced by the pass on 11 December 2025. While the overall testing history shows a consistent pass rate, the transition from a minor parking brake advisory in 2024 to multiple wear-related advisories in the latest inspection indicates a trend of increasing component degradation. A recorded mileage of 72,025 miles over approximately five years represents a high annual accumulation rate of roughly 14,405 miles. This level of usage places significantly more demand on the chassis and consumables than average, accelerating the wear of suspension bushings, steering linkages, and tyre treads. Such a profile suggests the vehicle has been used extensively, which typically impacts the longevity of rubber components and joint integrity. Specific attention is required regarding the front tyres, which were flagged for wear on the inner edges during the December 2025 test. This pattern often points to incorrect wheel alignment or worn steering geometry. During a test drive, the buyer should check for any steering pull or instability when travelling at motorway speeds, as the presence of worn inner edges suggests that the front axle alignment requires professional verification to prevent premature replacement of new tyres. The wear noted on the nearside rear upper suspension rose joint requires a focused physical inspection. Listen for metallic knocks or clunks when driving over speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, as a worn rose joint can introduce play into the rear suspension geometry. Additionally, while the parking brake advisory from 2024 was not repeated in the latest test, the operation of the electronic parking brake should be verified for smoothness and full engagement to ensure the system is functioning as intended.
