2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electric · NJ22 TNX

The Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two MOT cycles, with both tests in February 2026 and April 2025 resulting in clean passes at 21,418 and 17,845 miles respectively. No defects or advisories were recorded during either inspection, suggesting the vehicle has undergone consistent maintenance or that critical components have remained within acceptable limits. The most recent test, just five months ago, aligns with the standard 12-month MOT interval, indicating compliance with legal requirements and a lack of urgent mechanical issues requiring premature intervention. The recorded mileage of 21,418 miles over four years—approximately 5,354 miles annually—falls well below the average for a vehicle of this age, typically around 10,000–12,000 miles per year. This low usage may imply limited exposure to wear on high-stress components such as suspension bushes, brake calipers, or drivetrain seals, though it could also reflect extended periods of non-use, which may introduce other risks like battery degradation or fluid stagnation. The gap between tests, spanning roughly 10 months, does not reveal any abrupt mileage spikes, reinforcing the impression of steady, low-usage patterns. Given the absence of recorded faults, an in-person inspection should prioritise the battery health—particularly the state of charge and cooling system—given the vehicle’s electric nature and the low mileage. The suspension components, including coil springs, dampers, and mounting bushes, should be examined for wear or corrosion, as should the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, despite the clean MOT history. Tyres, though not flagged in tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven tread wear or embedded debris, which could indicate past neglect. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and underbody, should also be checked for corrosion or damage, given the vehicle’s age and exposure to UK road conditions.
