2023 Tesla Model Y RWD Electric · X21 KAW

This Tesla Model Y RWD, tested most recently on 24 March 2026 at 41,094 miles, achieved a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. The absence of any failures or repeated issues in the single available MOT suggests the vehicle has maintained a stable roadworthiness status within the limited test window. However, the gap of five months since the last test—nearing the six-month MOT cycle—means no recent inspection has verified critical components like high-mileage suspension bushes, regenerative braking systems, or battery thermal management, which are particularly sensitive in EVs. The lack of advisories does not preclude latent wear; buyers should treat this as a baseline for further scrutiny. The recorded mileage of 41,094 miles over approximately three years equates to an annual average of 13,698 miles, which is unusually high for a vehicle of this age. While this could indicate consistent use, it also raises concerns about accelerated wear on consumables such as brake discs, suspension dampers, and tyre casings. The single MOT test at 41,094 miles provides no historical context for mileage progression, so there is no evidence of sudden spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. That said, the absence of earlier MOTs means no prior trends in maintenance or recurring faults can be confirmed or refuted. Given the high mileage and the single clean pass, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are common failure points in high-mileage Teslas—alongside the regenerative braking calipers and pads. The battery health, while not MOT-tested, warrants professional assessment given the vehicle’s age and mileage, especially for thermal regulation and cell integrity. Tyre wear should also be scrutinised, as the lack of MOT defects does not confirm uniform tread depth or potential uneven wear from aggressive driving patterns. Structural corrosion, though less common in EVs, should be checked at wheel arches, subframes, and underbody seams, particularly if the vehicle has been exposed to salted roads.
