2025 Tesla Model Y Long Range RWD Electricity · NG74 FOT

As of September 2026, the official DVSA records show no MOT test history for this 2025 Tesla Model Y Long Range RWD. Because the vehicle is registered from 2025, it falls within its first three years from the date of first registration and is therefore currently exempt from compulsory MOT testing until 2028. While the absence of MOT data is entirely normal and expected for a vehicle of this age, it is important for the prospective buyer to recognise that no independent, DVSA-verified roadworthiness assessment exists at present. All current condition indicators must therefore be sourced from a thorough pre-purchase inspection rather than historical test records. Mileage data has not been supplied with this enquiry, which means no meaningful comparison can be drawn between annual usage and the vehicle's age. Electric vehicles such as the Tesla Model Y typically cover substantially fewer miles annually than equivalent internal combustion models, often averaging between 8,000 and 12,000 miles per year, but this can vary considerably depending on whether the car is used primarily for commuting, long-distance travel, or acts as a secondary household vehicle. Without recorded mileages across service intervals, it is not possible to evaluate usage patterns or detect any irregular gaps in driving activity. A buyer should request verified mileage documentation from previous service visits or from the DVLA to establish a clear usage profile before purchase. Given the lack of MOT history, the prospective buyer should place particular emphasis on a comprehensive physical inspection, focusing on age-related and low-use deterioration. Tyres should be examined closely for sidewall perishing, cracking, or uneven wear patterns, as even relatively new tyres can degrade from age or from alignment irregularities caused by kerbing. The 12-volt auxiliary battery, which controls the vehicle's electronic systems and is separate from the high-voltage traction battery, is a known service item on Tesla vehicles and typically requires replacement every three to four years; its condition should be tested prior to purchase. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for corrosion or seizing from standing, as Teslas use regenerative braking which can leave the friction brakes unused for prolonged periods, leading to surface rust and potentially binding calipers. A test drive should include firm brake applications from higher speeds to confirm smooth, even stopping without shudder or pulling. Finally, attention should turn to time-based servicing requirements irrespective of mileage. Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should generally be renewed every two years regardless of use, while the cooling system for the electric motors and battery pack and the reduction gearbox oil should be verified as within manufacturer service intervals. The high-voltage traction battery state of health should be confirmed through a diagnostic readout, ideally at a Tesla-approved service centre, to verify remaining capacity and cell balance. Structural and underbody inspection is advisable to check for any corrosion, impact damage, or fluid leaks from the drivetrain, and all warning messages or fault codes stored in the vehicle systems should be reviewed. Because no MOT history exists, these proactive checks form the only objective basis on which to judge the mechanical condition of this vehicle at the time of purchase.
