2021 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD Electric · PE65 ACH

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-29 at 79,705 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2025-08-28 at the same mileage failed with no recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests a possible administrative error or procedural anomaly, as identical mileage and date proximity imply minimal usage between tests. The 2024-09-03 pass at 57,366 miles also showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend in earlier years. However, the lack of defect details in all tests limits definitive assessment of mechanical health. The vehicle’s mileage of 79,705 miles at 5 years old equates to 15,941 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. A significant jump from 57,281 miles in 2024-09-02 to 79,705 miles in 2025-08-28 occurred over 11 months, reflecting rapid accumulation. This pattern may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and suspension components. While no structural corrosion or major faults were flagged, the high annual mileage increases the likelihood of undetected wear in drivetrain or electrical systems, particularly in a Tesla’s complex architecture. Buyers should prioritise inspecting suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness, as high mileage often exacerbates these areas. The absence of exhaust emission or structural integrity issues in MOT records is positive, but the lack of detailed defect reports means critical faults could have been overlooked. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on electrical system diagnostics, including battery health and regenerative braking performance, alongside a thorough check of wheel bearings and steering components. The vehicle’s MOT history lacks recurring issues, but its high mileage and rapid usage pattern necessitate cautious evaluation.
