AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 26 May 2026 at 24,788 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that all components meet current DVSA standards. This follows two consecutive clean passes in 2024 and 2025, suggesting the vehicle has remained well-maintained since its registration. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-average vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per annum. The record shows a progression of 2,322 miles between May 2024 and May 2025, followed by a more significant increase of 4,332 miles leading to the May 2026 test. This relatively low annual usage typically reduces stress on heavy wear components such as suspension bushings, brake discs, and tyre treads compared to high-mileage examples. The only recorded failure occurred on 09 April 2024 at 18,132 miles for a minor defect involving an incorrectly positioned nearside rear fog lamp. This was a cosmetic fit issue rather than a mechanical or structural failure. Since that rectification, the vehicle has shown no recurring issues with brake binding, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. A buyer should still perform a standard physical inspection to check for tyre flat-spotting due to low mileage or to verify the condition of the underbody, but the documented history provides no red flags regarding underlying mechanical neglect.

Our Verdict

This Tesla Model 3 presents a solid proposition with a clean MOT record following its initial failure in 2024. It is a modern, low-mileage example that appears to have been rectified correctly after its previous inspection issues.

When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the history of the 2024 MOT failure. The failure regarding the rear fog lamp position suggests a potential history of non-standard modifications or incorrect lighting components, so verify that all lamps are currently OEM-compliant and functioning correctly.

Additionally, ensure the Tesla software is up to date and that the vehicle comes with the correct charging cables. As this is an electric vehicle, check the condition of the charging port door and ensure there is no debris or damage that could impede the charging process.

As an electric vehicle, this Model 3 benefits from zero road tax in the UK under current regulations. Fuel costs will depend heavily on whether you can charge at home or rely on the Supercharger network, which is generally more expensive per kWh.

Maintenance costs are typically lower than internal combustion engine vehicles due to fewer moving parts, though tyre wear can be higher due to the car's weight and instant torque. Budget for premium tyres, as these are essential for the performance and safety of the Model 3.

Prioritise a thorough check of the lighting systems, given the specific 2024 MOT failure for a mispositioned rear fog lamp. Ensure all lights are securely fitted and illuminate without error messages on the dashboard.

Inspect the tyres for even wear across the treads, as high-performance electric vehicles can be hard on rubber. Finally, test the TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) during a test drive to ensure it is communicating correctly with the vehicle's computer, as this was flagged during the 2024 MOT inspection.

Registered in February 2022, this white Tesla Model 3 has covered 24,788 miles over its four-year life. The vehicle has three successful MOT passes on record, with the most recent occurring in May 2026. While the vehicle failed an MOT in April 2024, the issues were addressed, and it has maintained a clean record since.

There is no aggregate reliability data available for the Tesla Model 3, so buyers should rely on the specific MOT history provided for this vehicle.
