2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD Electricity · YK22 PXB

Tyre tread depth is the sole recurring concern highlighted in the MOT history, with both rear tyres flagged as close to the legal minimum in the 2025 advisory, yet the vehicle cleared the 2026 test without any recorded defects, indicating that the tyres have since been replaced or have regained sufficient depth to satisfy the inspection criteria. At 59,144 mi on a 2022 model, the car averages roughly 14,800 mi per year, a mileage rate that exceeds typical private‑use expectations for a four‑year‑old electric SUV. This level of utilisation accelerates wear on consumable components such as tyres, brake pads and rotors, and places additional demand on the suspension bushings and steering geometry. The MOT record shows regular annual testing with no gaps, suggesting the vehicle has been kept on the road consistently rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Prospective buyers should give the tyre condition a thorough visual and tactile inspection. Verify tread depth across the full width of each tyre, checking for uneven wear that could signal mis‑alignment or worn suspension components. During a low‑speed test drive, feel for any pulling to one side, a vague vibration through the steering column, or clunking noises over bumps, which would point to deteriorated rear‑wheel bearings, worn rear‑track control arms or bushings. Even though the MOT did not record brake issues, the high mileage warrants a pad‑and‑disc thickness check; listen for squeal or judder under hard braking, and feel for any pedal pulsation that could indicate rotor warping. Finally, confirm the health of the electric drivetrain and ancillary systems by monitoring the regenerative‑braking response and ensuring there are no warning lights on the instrument cluster. While the MOT does not assess battery capacity, a vehicle with this mileage should be examined for any loss of range or charging anomalies. A comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection that includes tyre tread, suspension integrity, brake wear and a diagnostic scan of the battery management system will provide a clear picture of the car’s remaining service life.
