2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + Electricity · YK71 TWV

The Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + presents a clean and stable maintenance trend across its entire MOT history. The most recent test on 10 March 2026 at 124,895 miles passed with zero defects, advisories, or failures recorded. This is consistent with every preceding test dating back to April 2024, all of which also passed with no defects. The vehicle has maintained a defect-free record through five consecutive MOT tests, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural issues have surfaced during its life. The mileage accumulation is notably high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 24,979 miles per year. Between the April 2024 test at 42,955 miles and the March 2026 test at 124,895 miles, the car covered 81,940 miles in roughly two years, which is a steep climb. The intervals between tests show consistent accumulation without unusual gaps or sudden drops, suggesting sustained high-intensity daily use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. This kind of mileage places above-average stress on consumable components and structural elements, even on an electric drivetrain with fewer moving parts than an internal combustion vehicle. Despite the heavy mileage, the absence of any flagged defects across all five tests is a strong indicator of sound mechanical health. The tester identified no issues with suspension components, brake systems, steering, structural integrity, or exhaust emissions at any point. For an electric vehicle, the lack of emissions-related advisories is expected, but the clean suspension and braking records are particularly noteworthy given the mileage load. A buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on high-mileage wear items. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll bar links deserve close scrutiny given the accumulated distance. Tyre condition and remaining tread depth should be checked, as high annual mileage accelerates wear unevenly. The brake system, including discs, pads, and calipers, warrants inspection even though no defects appeared on test, as high-mileage use can reveal issues between MOT intervals. The battery state of health should be verified through Tesla's diagnostic tools, since rapid long-distance cycling can degrade capacity over time. Structural corrosion around subframe mounting points and sills should also be examined, as salt and road debris exposure accumulates proportionally with mileage.
