2020 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electric · SM70 GCU

The 2020 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + demonstrates a stable and unblemished maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 18 November 2025 at 58,425 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, confirming the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards on that date. A preceding test on 17 November 2025 at 58,423 miles shows a failure, yet curiously lists no recorded defects. This anomaly typically indicates an administrative issue or an inability to complete the test procedure rather than a mechanical fault, as the car passed with no defects just two miles later. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 9,700 miles per year. Examining the chronological data reveals a slightly higher recent usage rate. Between the December 2023 test at 32,711 miles and the December 2024 test at 44,960 miles, the car covered 12,249 miles. This increased to 13,465 miles over the following eleven months leading to the November 2025 test. The record is sparse but entirely clean, showing no gaps in testing and a consistent, slightly increasing annual mileage that suggests regular commuting rather than prolonged standing. Because the official DVSA record flags no recurring faults, structural corrosion, or mechanical defects, the MOT history alone presents no specific areas of concern. However, a vehicle approaching 60,000 miles requires a physical inspection of typical wear components. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and closely inspect the brake discs and pads. Electric vehicles rely heavily on regenerative braking, which can lead to surface corrosion on brake discs if the friction brakes are not used regularly. Tyre condition and remaining tread depth also warrant a thorough check given the mileage.
