2025 Tesla Model Y Long Range RWD Electricity · RF12 OSE

As an all-electric vehicle, running costs are primarily driven by electricity prices and your charging habits. While fuel costs are generally lower than petrol or diesel equivalents, the cost per mile will vary significantly between home charging and public rapid chargers.

Insurance groups for Tesla models tend to be higher due to repair costs, so obtain a quote specifically for this Model Y variant before committing. Tax is currently £0 for electric vehicles in the UK, though you should be aware of upcoming legislative changes regarding EV road tax. Maintenance costs are typically lower than internal combustion engines due to fewer moving parts, but tyre replacement costs can be higher due to the vehicle's weight and instant torque.

With no MOT history available, you cannot rely on past failure data. Instead, inspect the vehicle for any signs of uneven tyre wear, which can sometimes occur with high-torque electric vehicles. Check the integrity of the charging port and ensure all cables are present and in good condition.

Examine the glass roof and body panels for any chips or cracks that may have occurred during delivery or early use. Given the lack of historical testing data, a professional pre-purchase inspection (PPI) focusing on the electronic systems and battery health is highly recommended to supplement the lack of an MOT record.
