2022 Tesla Model Y RWD Electric · MW72 WLF

The Tesla Model Y RWD in question achieved a clean MOT pass on 18 February 2026, with no defects or advisories recorded during that test. This represents a stable maintenance trend, as the most recent inspection confirmed compliance with all current UK roadworthiness standards without any recurring issues. The absence of advisories suggests the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical or structural concerns that would warrant further attention beyond standard servicing. However, the MOT record remains sparse, with only a single entry in the past six months, which limits visibility into long-term reliability patterns. The recorded mileage of 49,010 miles over approximately four years equates to an average of around 12,250 miles annually, a rate significantly higher than the typical UK average for vehicles of this age. This suggests either consistent high usage or prolonged periods of inactivity followed by rapid mileage accumulation. Without earlier MOT records, it is impossible to determine whether this accelerated wear has been managed through regular maintenance, but the high mileage does imply increased exposure for components such as suspension bushes, brake pads, and tyre tread. The lack of intermediate MOTs also means there is no evidence of how the vehicle performed at lower mileages or whether any advisories were issued and subsequently resolved. Given the limited MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear items such as the suspension system—particularly the coil springs, dampers, and mounting bushes—for signs of uneven wear or corrosion. The braking system, including calipers, pads, and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation. Tyre condition is critical; failing twice on tread depth would indicate neglect, so verifying current tread depth and uniformity across all wheels is essential. Additionally, the battery health—though not directly covered by MOT—should be assessed, as Tesla vehicles are prone to degradation over high mileage. Finally, a visual inspection of the underbody and wheel arches for corrosion or fluid leaks would provide reassurance regarding the vehicle’s structural integrity and potential hidden issues.
