Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a documen
Focus your attention on the battery health and the condition of the charging cables, as these are the most critical components of any used EV. Ensure you review the vehicle's digital service records for any software updates or recall completions since its June 2021 registration.
Regarding the mechanicals, the December 2025 MOT noted slight play in the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint. You should verify if this has been rectified or if the play has worsened, as this provides a specific point for negotiation or a requested repair before purchase.
Running costs for this electric vehicle are primarily driven by electricity tariffs and insurance. As an EV, it currently benefits from zero VED (road tax), although buyers should be aware of upcoming UK government changes to EV taxation.
Insurance groups for the Model 3 can be higher than equivalent petrol cars, and maintenance is generally lower due to fewer moving parts. However, the high torque of electric motors can lead to accelerated tyre wear, which is a known cost factor for this model.
Specifically inspect the offside front suspension area, as the most recent MOT recorded slight play in the lower arm ball joint. Check the condition and tread depth of all tyres, as aggregate data for over 23,000 Model 3s identifies tyres as the most common reason for MOT failure.
Additionally, examine the white paintwork for stone chips and check the alignment of the body panels. Ensure the infotainment system and all electronic controls are functioning correctly, as these are central to the vehicle's operation.
This 2021 white Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + has recorded 53,287 miles, which aligns closely with the model's average annual mileage. Its MOT history shows two tests and two passes, including a defect-free report in May 2024. The vehicle presents as a standard example of this model with a relatively straightforward testing record.
The Model 3 maintains a respectable 87.6% MOT pass rate across a large sample size of 23,469 vehicles, with tyres being the primary failure point.
