2019 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · SM69 EFP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring failure to address tyre management. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 75,549 miles passed, it flagged an offside rear inner tyre worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This mirrors a defect found during the December 2023 test at 42,089 miles, suggesting a persistent pattern of neglecting tyre condition until they reach critical wear thresholds. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,800 miles per year. The car covered 14,075 miles between the December 2022 test (28,014 miles) and the November 2024 test (61,164 miles), followed by another 14,385 miles leading into the December 2025 inspection. This steady usage profile indicates regular road use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the health of electric vehicle seals and rubber components. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension geometry given the recurring edge wear on the offside rear tyre. This specific fault often points to alignment issues, worn control arm bushes, or camber irregularities that the MOT does not explicitly name. Because the 2024 test showed no defects, the reappearance of the issue in 2025 suggests the owner may only be replacing tyres without investigating the underlying mechanical cause of the uneven wear.
