2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electric · OO04 DUT

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2026-01-02 at 38,228 miles. The prior test in 2024-12-03 at 30,819 miles also showed no issues, confirming consistent compliance with safety standards. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident from the record, and the absence of advisories suggests the vehicle has been maintained to an acceptable standard. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,646 miles annually. The 13-month gap between the 2024-12-03 and 2026-01-02 tests reflects a reasonable interval, though the lack of intermediate MOT data limits insight into potential wear trends. The 7,409-mile increase over this period indicates steady usage without abrupt spikes, reducing immediate risk to consumables or drivetrain components. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the high-voltage battery system and electrical architecture, as these are critical to the vehicle’s performance and safety. Visual checks for underbody corrosion, particularly around the chassis and battery enclosure, are advisable despite no historical indications of structural damage. Suspension components and steering linkages should also be assessed for play or wear, as these can develop gradually without triggering MOT failures. The absence of brake-related issues in the record is reassuring, but a functional test of the regenerative braking system is recommended to confirm consistency.
