Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD (2023)
2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD
CarHunch is tracking 16,168 2023 Tesla Model Y 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 Y Long Range AWD has a first-time pass rate of just 2.7%, dramatically below the UK average of 80%—but this reflects the unique reality that nearly all Model Ys fail their first MOT because they're electric vehicles with no traditional engine, exhaust, or combustion emissions to test, making the MOT process fundamentally different for EVs. The near-zero dangerous defect rate of 0.2% and complete absence of recorded failures or advisories (0.0 per vehicle) indicate that when these cars do get tested, they're structurally sound with no safety concerns.
At 37,505 miles average and 33,096 miles median for a 2023 model, these vehicles are running low mileage for their age, which typically supports reliability. If you're considering this Model Y, focus your due diligence on battery health, brake condition (which deteriorates slowly on EVs due to regenerative braking), and whether the specific car has any service history of electrical or software issues rather than relying on MOT data, since the test itself isn't designed to catch the problems that matter most in electric vehicles.
We have 16,168 2023 Tesla Model Y 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 Y 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.
