2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electricity · WR71 OKZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 28 October 2025 at 65,139 miles. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the maintenance trend regarding tyre management is concerning. The vehicle failed its 2025 test due to all four tyres falling below the legal tread depth, mirroring a similar failure in November 2024 where tyres were found with exposed cords. This pattern indicates a neglect of basic consumable maintenance, suggesting the previous owner consistently ran the vehicle on illegal rubber until the point of mandatory inspection. Accumulating 65,139 miles over five years results in an average of approximately 13,000 miles annually. This usage rate is higher than the typical passenger vehicle, placing significant demand on the drivetrain and chassis components. The jump of roughly 14,000 miles between the November 2024 pass and the October 2025 pass confirms the vehicle sees intensive, consistent road use. Such mileage levels often accelerate the degradation of suspension bushes and wheel bearings, which may not be fully captured by a standard MOT test. Prospective buyers must prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and wheel alignment, given the recurring inner-edge tyre wear flagged in both 2024 and 2025. This specific wear pattern often points to tracking issues or worn control arm bushings that require professional adjustment. Furthermore, the 2024 record noted fluctuating service brakes on the offside front. While this did not recur in the 2025 test, the high mileage suggests the brake discs and pads may be nearing the end of their service life. A physical check of the brake friction surfaces and a test drive to confirm smooth deceleration are essential to ensure the braking system remains fully effective.
