Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for buyers seeking a high-performance electric vehicle with a clean recent history. The vehicle has a consistent record of passing MOT tests without defects recorded in its most recent inspections.
When inspecting this Model 3 Performance, focus on the high-performance components. While the MOT history shows no defects, the model aggregate data suggests that tyres and brake performance are common failure points for this vehicle type. Ensure the tyres have deep, even tread and that there is no uneven wear which could indicate alignment issues.
Verify the condition of the braking system, as 'brake performance unable' is a top failure reason for this model. Given the high torque of the Performance AWD variant, brake pads and discs can wear faster than in standard models. Always request evidence of any recent service or maintenance performed outside of the MOT testing regime.
As an electric vehicle, running costs are primarily driven by electricity consumption and insurance. Being a Performance AWD model, insurance groups are typically higher due to the vehicle's acceleration capabilities. Tax is currently £0 for most EVs in the UK, though be aware of upcoming changes to EV taxation.
Maintenance costs for this Tesla should be lower than an equivalent internal combustion engine car, but you should budget for periodic tyre replacements due to the high torque and weight. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle, covering electricity, insurance, and maintenance, is approximately £1,200-£1,600 depending on usage and insurance profile.
Specifically check the tyre condition and tread depth. Since the aggregate data for the Model 3 highlights 'tyre' as a top MOT failure reason, this is a critical area of inspection for this specific car.
Additionally, perform a thorough check of the braking system. With 'brake performance unable' being another common failure reason for this model, you should listen for any unusual noises during test drives and visually inspect the brake discs for scoring or excessive wear.
This 2021 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD in black has covered 32,957 miles since its registration in June 2021. This equates to roughly 6,600 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the model average of 10,652 miles per year. Both recorded MOT tests in 2024 and 2026 show no defects, indicating a consistent pass rate for this specific unit.
The Model 3 shows an average MOT pass rate of 84.9% across 17,848 analysed vehicles, with tyres and brakes being the most frequent failure points.
