2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · OO03 AAL

The DVSA records show no MOT history for the 2024 Tesla Model 3 Long‑Range AWD, meaning there has been no formal roadworthiness test logged to date. Consequently, no trend in maintenance performance can be derived from MOT data; the absence of recorded passes, failures or advisories leaves the vehicle’s service condition entirely dependent on the owner’s own maintenance regime and any private inspections that may have been carried out. Mileage for this vehicle is not disclosed, so an objective comparison with its four‑year age cannot be made. In the UK a typical annual mileage for a family saloon sits around 7‑10 000 mi, giving a four‑year total of roughly 30‑40 000 mi. If the car has been driven significantly less than this, components such as tyre sidewalls, rubber seals and suspension bushings may have aged without the benefit of regular movement, leading to cracking or loss of elasticity. Conversely, if the odometer reads well above the expected range, the high‑energy‑density battery and drivetrain will have experienced accelerated cycle wear, potentially reducing range and increasing the likelihood of thermal management issues. For a relatively new EV with little recorded use, the buyer should concentrate on time‑related wear rather than mileage‑related wear. Inspect the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition; even low‑kilometre tyres can suffer dry‑rot, especially if stored under a carport or in a warm garage. Examine the wheel rims for corrosion or curb‑impact dents that could affect tyre sealing. Check the under‑body for any signs of rust or corrosion on the chassis, suspension arms and brake caliper brackets, as standing vehicles can develop surface rust that may progress to structural concerns if left untreated. Verify that the 12 V auxiliary battery is not leaking and holds a reasonable charge, as a weak 12 V system can cause intermittent electronic faults even when the high‑voltage pack is healthy. Finally, request a full service history from the current owner, looking for evidence of regular software updates, high‑voltage battery health checks and coolant system servicing, all of which are stipulated in Tesla’s service schedule. During a test drive listen for any unusual whine or vibration from the motor and gearbox, and feel for any pull or shudder when applying regenerative braking, which could indicate worn brake discs or stuck calipers. Confirm that the charge port and cable are free of debris and that the high‑voltage battery indicator shows a healthy state of charge and reasonable degradation percentage; a battery health below 85 % of original capacity on a four‑year‑old vehicle would be a red flag and may warrant a professional diagnostic scan before purchase.
