2020 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · SL20 AAY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 April 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed its inspection on 16 April 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical deficiency, as it passed the following day at the same mileage. The mileage is high for a six year old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,736 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between April 2023 and April 2024, where the odometer rose from 50,870 to 67,060 miles. A further 15,355 miles were added by the April 2025 test. This consistent high-mileage pattern indicates the car has been used heavily for commuting or long-distance travel. The MOT record is unusually clean, showing no advisories or failures across three years of testing. This suggests a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance or a vehicle that has avoided typical wear and tear. However, the absence of flagged issues does not negate the physical reality of 82,415 miles on the chassis. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear consumables that MOT testers often overlook if they meet the minimum legal limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components face higher stress with this level of mileage. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, as regenerative braking in Teslas can sometimes lead to brake binding or corrosion if the mechanical brakes are underutilised.
