Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD (2023)
2023 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD
CarHunch is tracking 2,756 2023 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
The 2023 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD has a catastrophic 3.7% first-time pass rate—76 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—which is alarming and suggests either systematic testing issues, a fleet skewed toward high-mileage commercial use, or genuine widespread defects on this cohort. The dangerous defect rate of 0.3% is mercifully low, but the overall failure pattern is deeply concerning for any prospective buyer.
At 34,838 miles median mileage, these vehicles are relatively low-mileage for their age, yet they're still failing MOT at extraordinary rates with an average of 0.01 failures per vehicle—a figure that doesn't square with the headline pass rate and suggests most failures are minor but frequent across the fleet. Before committing to purchase, insist on a full pre-purchase inspection and detailed service history, and seriously consider whether the brand's warranty coverage justifies the risk signalled by these numbers.
We have 2,756 2023 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2023 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
