2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electric · YA70 JRO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test on February 4, 2026. While the record shows a failure on that same date at 91,807 miles, the immediate pass without any recorded defects suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial rectification that did not indicate underlying mechanical failure. Given the clean results from the 2024 and 2025 inspections, the maintenance trend appears consistent, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults identified over the last two years. The mileage profile indicates heavy usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 18,300 miles annually. Between the January 2024 test at 41,278 miles and the January 2025 test at 65,405 miles, the car covered over 24,000 miles in a single year. This acceleration continued into early 2026, where significant mileage was added since the previous 2025 test. This high rate of accumulation places greater stress on wear-and-tear components compared to average-useage vehicles. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension geometry and control arms, as high-mileage electric vehicles often accelerate bushing wear due to their weight. The braking system requires a close look for caliper corrosion or rotor scoring, as regenerative braking can sometimes lead to surface rust if mechanical brakes are not used frequently. Additionally, check the underbody for any signs of physical impact or structural wear that may result from consistent motorway use, ensuring the high mileage has not compromised the structural integrity of the battery housing.
