2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electricity · WR71 OKT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 28 November 2025 with 42,699 miles. While the current status is clear, the history reveals a failure just four days prior to that test, indicating a reactive maintenance approach rather than proactive servicing. The trend shows a recent improvement as the owner successfully addressed specific mechanical and safety defects identified by the tester to achieve a passing result. At 42,699 miles over five years, the car has averaged approximately 8,540 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for an electric vehicle. The record shows a gap of 10,843 miles between the November 2024 test at 31,866 miles and the November 2025 test. This consistent accumulation of mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which typically explains the wear observed on suspension components during the most recent inspection. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension geometry, as the November 2025 failure flagged both the nearside and offside rear upper suspension arm ball joints as excessively worn. Although these were replaced to pass the test, a thorough check should ensure no further play exists in the remaining arms or bushings. The failure also noted both rear tyres were below the legal 1.6mm limit, suggesting the previous owner neglected tyre maintenance until prompted by the MOT test. The offside front headlamp aim issue recorded in the 2025 failure should be verified to ensure the beam is now correctly aligned for night driving. Given the lack of documented structural corrosion or brake issues in the records, the primary mechanical concerns remain limited to consumable wear and the suspension assembly. Verifying that the work performed after the November 2025 failure was completed to professional standards is essential to avoid unexpected repairs shortly after purchase.
