2022 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electric · WN22 LFF

The most recent MOT test conducted on 27 August 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. When evaluating the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle shows signs of stable and proactive ownership. The previous year's inspection in September 2025 included several advisories concerning tyre wear on the nearside front, nearside rear, and offside rear. The transition from these advisories to a clean pass in 2026 indicates that the owner has addressed these consumable wear items, suggesting that the vehicle is being maintained in response to recorded deterioration rather than being neglected. The recorded mileage of 103,370 miles is exceptionally high for a four-year-old vehicle, representing an annual average of approximately 25,842 miles. This high rate of accumulation suggests heavy usage, likely consisting of significant motorway mileage. While consistent high-speed driving can be less abrasive on certain mechanical components than urban stop-start traffic, the sheer volume of miles will have accelerated the wear on all suspension, steering, and braking components. The mechanical integrity of the vehicle will be heavily dependent on whether this high mileage has been accompanied by a rigorous and documented service schedule. During a physical inspection and test drive, you should pay particular attention to the tyres, as the MOT history shows they are a recurring maintenance point. Check the current tread depth and look for any signs of uneven wear, such as feathering or shoulder wear, which could indicate misaligned geometry or worn suspension bushes. You should also listen for any clunking or knocking noises from the suspension when navigating uneven road surfaces, as high-mileage vehicles are prone to fatigued dampers, worn coil springs, or degraded bushings. Additionally, monitor the braking system for any shuddering through the pedal or pulling to one side, which could indicate warped discs or binding calipers. Given the high mileage, it is vital to verify the service book or digital records to ensure all manufacturer-recommended maintenance has been completed. While electric vehicles have fewer traditional engine components, you should still inspect for any signs of coolant leaks or degradation in the brake fluid. Check the vehicle for any unusual drivetrain vibrations or humming noises at cruising speeds, which could suggest wear in the drive units or wheel bearings. Finally, use the vehicle's onboard software to check the health status of the high-voltage battery and the 12V battery to ensure the high usage has not resulted in premature capacity loss.
