2022 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range +
CarHunch analysed 3,596 real MOT records for the 2022 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range +. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range + has a first-time MOT pass rate of 88.1%, which is well above the UK average of 80%, suggesting stronger reliability across this cohort. The dangerous defect rate sits at 9.8%, which is acceptably low and shouldn't be a major concern for prospective buyers.
These vehicles are averaging 37,620 miles at test time, which is typical for their age, and they're showing minimal failure issues with just 0.18 failures per vehicle on average—electric drivetrains clearly sidestep many traditional mechanical problems. Before buying, check the service history carefully and have any pre-purchase inspection focus on battery health documentation and brake fluid condition, since those are the areas where advisories cluster on electric vehicles.
What to check before buying a 2022 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range +
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.
