Insight summary
Tesla Model 3 Performance Awd is a scarce model in this snapshot, with 16,797 represented vehicles and 0.04% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 83.2% from 49,008 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 47. The current pool shows an average of 52,681 miles and an average age of 4.9 years. Electric leads the fuel split, and the most frequent defect themes are tyre condition, windscreen damage and lighting. The practical read is that the Tesla Model 3 Performance Awd looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
