2020 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · SM70 DYC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 15 October 2025 at 107,674 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently achieved passing grades following initial test failures. While the record shows failures immediately prior to successful passes, the lack of specific recorded defects on the failure reports suggests these may have been administrative issues or minor items that were rectified quickly without indicating a deep-seated mechanical decline. The mileage profile indicates high-intensity use, averaging approximately 18,000 miles per year over the six-year life span. Between the October 2024 test at 86,293 miles and the October 2025 test at 107,674 miles, the vehicle covered 21,381 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent highway driving, which typically places specific types of stress on the suspension components and drivetrain bushings compared to lower-mileage city. Given the high mileage, a prospective buyer must focus the physical inspection on the front suspension assembly, specifically checking for wear on control arm bushings and coil springs, which often fatigue prematurely on heavy electric vehicles. The recurring failures without recorded defects warrant a close look at the brake fluid levels and sensor calibrations that might have triggered re-tests. A buyer should also inspect the underbody for signs of impact or uneven tyre wear to ensure the high-mileage usage has not compromised the structural integrity of the battery casing or subframe.
