2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electric · OO11 PJG

The 2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD shows a stable roadworthiness trend, supported by a single MOT test in June 2025 at 18,019 miles, which passed without any defects or advisories. The absence of recurring issues or warnings suggests the vehicle has not experienced repeated mechanical failures, though the sparse MOT history limits long-term insight. The most recent test, just over a year ago, indicates no immediate cause for concern regarding emissions, structural integrity, or critical systems. However, the lack of intermediate tests—particularly between the original registration and this single pass—means there is no record of how the vehicle performed in its first two years of service. The recorded mileage of 18,019 miles over four years equates to approximately 4,505 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and category. Such low mileage may imply limited use, extended periods of storage, or even potential odometer tampering, though the latter cannot be confirmed without further evidence. The absence of any MOT tests prior to June 2025 raises questions about whether the vehicle was ever previously tested or if it was exempt from MOT due to newness. If the car was indeed driven minimally, wear items like brake pads, suspension bushes, and tyres may have degraded more slowly than expected, but this also means there could be deferred maintenance risks if the vehicle was not regularly serviced. Given the limited MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that are not covered by the MOT test. The brakes—particularly the rear system—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as the MOT does not fully assess caliper function beyond basic operation. Suspension bushes and coil springs, while not directly tested in the MOT, may show signs of premature deterioration if the vehicle was stored for extended periods, leading to corrosion or stiffness. The battery health, though not MOT-tested, is critical for an electric vehicle; a full charge cycle test and inspection for swelling or electrolyte leaks should be conducted. Finally, the tyres, though not flagged in the MOT, should be examined for uneven wear patterns that could indicate alignment issues or prolonged underinflation. Given the sparse maintenance record, these areas warrant particular scrutiny.
