2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD Electricity · N8 VSC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 64,971 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive approach, evidenced by a failure in that same test for an offside rear tyre tread depth below the legal 1.6mm limit. While the car passed the retest, the history of tyre issues suggests the previous owner only addresses consumable wear when it fails inspection. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,282 miles per year. Between the February 2023 test at 28,716 miles and the February 2025 test at 52,948 miles, the car covered over 24,000 miles, indicating steady usage patterns. However, the February 2024 inspection was compromised by plastic covering on the underside which prevented the tester from performing a thorough check of the chassis and structural integrity or battery housing area. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the wheels and suspension components, specifically the distorted nearside front road wheel noted in early 2023. The presence of cuts in the tyres during the 2025 test suggests potential history of curb damage or rough driving which could have affected the control arms or bushings. Given the obstructed view in 2024, a visual check of the underside is essential to ensure there is no hidden corrosion or damage to the battery pack casing that the tester missed.
