2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electricity · WR71 RKA

The 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + presents a stable mechanical profile, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent test on 2026-02-02 at 58,225 miles. The maintenance trend remains steady, with no recurring mechanical defects or advisories recorded across the available history. The sole annotation on the latest certificate notes a nearside rear child seat fitted at the time of testing, which restricted full inspection of the adult seatbelt. This is a minor administrative observation rather than a mechanical fault, indicating the powertrain, braking system, and structural integrity met required standards without any flagged deterioration. Accumulating 58,225 miles over roughly five years equates to an average of 11,645 miles annually, a typical rate for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows a clear gap between the 2025-01-06 test at 44,581 miles and the 2026-02-02 test at 58,225 miles, representing 13,644 miles covered in the thirteen months prior to the latest test. This recent uptick in usage suggests the vehicle saw consistent, regular deployment over the past year, rather than sitting idle for extended periods. The data set is sparse, yet the recorded figures align logically with the timeline, showing no anomalies or discrepancies in the odometer readings. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on the areas obscured during the February 2026 test. The presence of the child seat prevented a thorough check of the nearside rear adult seatbelt, so a buyer must verify the belt webbing for fraying, the retractor mechanism for smooth operation, and the buckle for secure engagement. Tesla Model 3s of this generation are prone to localised corrosion on suspension components and subframes, particularly if the vehicle has been driven in winter conditions. A close visual check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and lower arms for rust or pitting is advisable. While the MOT recorded no braking defects, inspecting the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding calipers will confirm the current state of the foundation brakes.
