2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electricity · NC21 FOP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent MOT test in August 2025 at 74,157 miles showed a pass despite both the front and rear brake discs being pitted and scored. While these issues did not result in a failure, they signal that the braking system is reaching the end of its effective service life and requires attention to prevent further degradation of stopping performance. The car has covered a significant distance for its age, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per year. Between the August 2024 test at 54,961 miles and the August 2025 test, the vehicle clocked nearly 19,000 miles in a single year. This high rate of accumulation places consistent stress on wear components and suspension bushings. The 2024 record also highlighted three tyres near the legal limit or showing uneven wear, suggesting a pattern of heavy use with potentially delayed replacement intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly to determine if the pitting on the discs has compromised the thickness of the metal. Given the damage to the rear boot noted in 2024, the structural integrity of the rear area should be checked for hidden impact damage or moisture ingress. The high annual mileage necessitates a close look at the front suspension geometry, as the uneven tyre wear patterns recorded previously often indicate alignment issues or worn control arms that have not yet been addressed.
