Insight summary

Tesla Model 3 Long Range Rwd is a scarce model in this snapshot, with 11,299 represented vehicles and 0.03% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 93.8% from 580 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 51. The current pool shows an average of 49,193 miles and an average age of 2.3 years. Electric leads the fuel split, and the most frequent defect themes are tyre condition, windscreen damage and braking components. The practical read is that the Tesla Model 3 Long Range Rwd looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
