2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electric · WN22 MVV

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 17 March 2026. While the overall trend remains stable in terms of achieving a pass, there is a noticeable increase in the number of advisories recorded over the last two years. The transition from a single suspension component advisory in 2025 to widespread tyre wear across all four corners in 2026 suggests that the vehicle is entering a phase of increased maintenance requirements as it accumulates significant mileage. With a recorded mileage of 85,411 miles over approximately four years, this vehicle has covered an average of 21,353 miles per year. This is significantly higher than the UK average and indicates heavy usage, likely consisting of extensive motorway commuting. While high-speed, long-distance driving is often less taxing on the high-voltage battery than frequent short trips, it accelerates the wear on chassis components, suspension bushings, and tyre treads, which is reflected in the recent MOT advisories. The most pressing concern is the inner edge wear noted on all four tyres. This is a classic symptom of incorrect wheel alignment, specifically excessive negative camber or toe-out, which is common in heavier electric vehicles. During a test drive, the buyer should check for any steering drift or a lack of centering in the steering wheel. A full four-wheel laser alignment is urgently required, and given that all four tyres are nearing the legal limit on the inner edges, a complete set of replacements should be factored into the purchase cost. Attention must also be paid to the offside rear upper suspension arm, which was flagged for bush play in 2025. The buyer should listen for knocks or clunks when traversing uneven road surfaces or during low-speed maneuvers. Additionally, because Tesla vehicles rely heavily on regenerative braking, the physical brake discs are used less frequently and are prone to surface corrosion or binding calipers. It is advisable to ensure the brakes feel responsive and that there is no shuddering under heavy braking, while also verifying the health of the 12V auxiliary battery and the condition of the cabin air filters.
