2022 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electric · WU22 BYM

The Tesla Model 3 in question presents a clean MOT record, with the most recent test on 20 February 2025 at 23,411 miles passing without any defects. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, as there are no advisories or failures to suggest recurring issues. The absence of even minor advisories—such as tyre wear, fluid leaks, or suspension wear—implies either meticulous upkeep by previous owners or inherent reliability in the vehicle’s systems at this mileage. For a 2022 model now approaching four years old, this level of compliance is well above average, particularly given the low recorded mileage. The vehicle’s mileage of 23,411 miles over roughly four years suggests either very light usage or extended periods of inactivity, averaging just under 5,853 miles annually. Such low mileage reduces wear on critical components like brakes, tyres, and suspension, but it also raises questions about battery health and potential fluid degradation over time. Without prior MOTs before 2025, it’s impossible to confirm if this low mileage is consistent or if the odometer has been tampered with. That said, the single clean test at this mileage does not contradict the vehicle’s stated history, provided the buyer verifies the battery’s state of health and service records independently. Given the lack of MOT advisories, a buyer should still prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear areas typically associated with electric vehicles. Focus on the battery cooling system for leaks or blockages, as well as the high-voltage cables for fraying or damage. Check the suspension components—specifically the coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings—for signs of corrosion or fatigue, even if not yet critical. While the brakes appear to have passed without issue, inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, which can occur even with low mileage if driving habits are aggressive. Finally, verify the structural integrity of the undercarriage, particularly around the wheel arches and suspension mounts, for any early signs of corrosion or impact damage, as these are less likely to be caught in a basic MOT.
