2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electric · WN22 HNH

The vehicle most recently passed its DVSA MOT test on 2 March 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating a clean roadworthiness outcome at the point of inspection. The previous test, conducted on 5 March 2025, also resulted in a pass but carried two advisories relating to inner-edge tyre wear on both rear wheels. Although no immediate failures have been recorded, the advisory history suggests that suspension geometry or tyre pressure management may have been a concern at the last examination. The transition from advisories to a fully clean pass on the most recent test demonstrates that any underlying issues may have been rectified, though the absence of recorded observations could equally reflect tyres having been replaced shortly before the test. Overall, the maintenance trajectory appears stable rather than deteriorating, which is reassuring, but the advisory pattern should not be dismissed when considering future mechanical outlay. With approximately 63,702 miles accumulated over four years, this Tesla Model Y has covered roughly 15,926 miles per annum, which is notably higher than the national average for a vehicle of this age. Sustained high mileage of this nature accelerates wear on consumable components, particularly brake discs, pads, tyres, suspension bushes, coil springs, and the anti-roll bar linkages. It is also relevant to consider the impact on the high-voltage battery pack, which will have experienced more frequent charge and discharge cycles than a lower-mileage example, potentially influencing long-term state of health. The relatively continuous usage pattern is, however, mechanically favourable in some respects, as it reduces the likelihood of deterioration through standing, such as corrosion on brake surfaces, dried seals, or perishing of rubber components. Buyers should nonetheless anticipate that some wear-related maintenance items may be approaching replacement intervals sooner than they would on a lower-mileage equivalent. Given the recorded rear inner-edge tyre wear advisory from 2025, prospective buyers should carefully inspect the current set of tyres for uneven wear patterns, particularly inner-edge wear which can indicate either incorrect camber settings, worn rear suspension bushes, or compromised trailing arm bushes. On a test drive, listen for any knocking or clonking noises from the rear suspension over uneven road surfaces, and observe whether the vehicle exhibits any instability or vague steering response under load. It is also prudent to check the rear suspension subframe and mounting points for any visible corrosion, as Tesla Model Y vehicles have been subject to inspections regarding rear subframe integrity in certain circumstances. When examining the tyres in person, verify the age code on the sidewall, as even relatively new-looking tyres may have been in storage for extended periods and could suffer from internal degradation; any rubber showing signs of sidewall cracking or perishing should be regarded as due for replacement regardless of tread depth. Beyond the specific advisory items, the high annual mileage and the age of the vehicle warrant a comprehensive inspection of the braking system, with particular attention to disc condition, pad wear, and any evidence of binding calipers, which can present as uneven pad wear or localised disc scorching. The 12V auxiliary battery, a known service item on Tesla vehicles typically requiring replacement around the four-year mark, should be tested for cranking performance and state of charge, as a failing unit can cause erratic electrical behaviour. Brake fluid should be assessed for moisture content, as hygroscopic fluid degradation occurs with calendar age rather than mileage, and the recommendation is generally to renew every two to three years regardless of use. Finally, the high-voltage battery diagnostics should be requested from a Tesla service centre or specialist, providing confirmation of state of health, cell balance, and any logged warning events, which together represent the most significant long-term cost consideration for any prospective purchaser of this particular vehicle.
