2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electric · YK71 TXS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. While the car passed its most recent MOT on 27 May 2025 at 41,715 miles, it failed that same test initially due to multiple mechanical and safety defects. The transition from a clean record to a failure suggests that the owner only addressed faults when forced by a legal requirement rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 41,715 miles over five years, the vehicle averages approximately 8,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a modern electric vehicle. There is a significant gap between the June 2024 test at 29,972 miles and the May 2025 test, during which nearly 12,000 miles were covered. This rate of accumulation within a single year explains the accelerated wear observed on the consumable components that led to the 2025 failure. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and tyres. The May 2025 failure flagged both front and rear brake discs as pitted and scored, which often occurs in electric vehicles where regenerative braking leads to surface corrosion on discs that are infrequently used. Furthermore, the record noted front tyres worn to the legal limit and bald on the insides, indicating potential alignment issues or incorrect geometry. The tyre pressure monitoring system was also reported as malfunctioning and must be verified to ensure the sensor or software fault has been properly rectified.
