2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · VB12 ADY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a period of concerning mechanical wear and reactive repairs. While the most recent test in July 2025 passed, it followed a failure due to multiple mechanical issues involving the suspension and braking systems. The transition from a clean certificate in 2024 to several significant defects suggests that components are requiring immediate attention to bring the car back to peak condition. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year over the five-year span to 57,419 miles. There is a notable gap of nearly 17,000 miles between the June 2024 and July 2025 tests, indicating high-intensity use during that twelve-month period. This accumulation likely contributed to the accelerated wear on high-friction components such as the tyres and suspension hardware noted in the more recent inspection history. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the previous failure identified offside front lower suspension arm bushes and ball joints as excessively worn. It is essential to verify that these components were replaced with quality parts and that no play remains in the steering geometry. Furthermore, the recurring reports of pitted and scored brake discs across all four wheels indicate the braking system may be prone to corrosion or heavy use, necessitating a close check of current pad thickness and rotor surface integrity.
