2020 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD Electric · S1 PPD

The Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 30 July 2025 at 68,054 miles with zero defects recorded. That outcome is a marked contrast to the 16 December 2024 failure at 63,922 miles, where four 235/35R20 tyres were flagged for worn edges, exposed ply, and deep cuts reaching the cords. The following day's pass at the identical mileage confirms the previous owner replaced or repaired the offending tyres promptly. No further advisories or failures have surfaced since, indicating the tyre issue was addressed rather than ignored. The vehicle has covered roughly 11,342 miles per year since registration, which is typical for a six-year-old performance saloon. Mileage accumulation shows a steady climb from 48,371 miles in December 2023 to 63,922 miles by late 2024, then a more modest gain of 4,132 miles over the subsequent seven months leading to the July 2025 test. That slower recent accumulation could reflect lighter use or a change in ownership pattern, but there are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the record to raise odometer concerns. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person, focusing on areas the MOT record does not fully reveal. The December 2024 failure exposed significant tyre damage, including structural cuts and cord exposure, which can indicate kerb strikes, poor wheel alignment, or aggressive driving. Have the current tyres checked for uneven wear, sidewall damage, and correct specification, and inspect the wheel alignment and suspension bushes for any knocks or play. As a high-performance electric saloon, the brake system warrants close attention; even though no braking faults were flagged, inspect the discs, pads, and calipers for binding or uneven wear given the car's torque-heavy drivetrain. Finally, examine the underside and suspension components for corrosion or damage, since the MOT record is otherwise sparse and a physical inspection remains essential before purchase.
