2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Electricity · ZY 537

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a significant failure recorded less than a month ago. The most recent test on 26 May 2026 at 54,780 miles revealed multiple critical defects including a damaged nearside front bumper, an insecure headlamp, and structural damage to both front tyres where cords are exposed. This represents a worsening trend in maintenance standards compared to the clean record seen two years prior, suggesting a failure to address safety-critical items between testing intervals. The recorded mileage of 54,780 miles over a five-year period is consistent with average UK usage, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. However, the interval between the May 2024 test at 36,149 miles and the May 2025 test at 47,267 miles shows a steady increase of over 11,000 miles. While the accumulation rate is normal, the recurring failures related to consumables during these periods indicate that the owner has neglected routine preventative maintenance, reacting only when a failure occurs. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres and suspension components, as the history shows a persistent pattern of cuts and exposed cords across multiple axles. The 2024 failure specifically noted a bald inner edge on the nearside front tyre, which often indicates incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes that require professional investigation. The recent failure regarding an insecure headlamp and damaged bumper also suggests a minor impact that should be checked to ensure no hidden structural damage to the front mounting brackets or sensors.
