Why does a Tesla fail the MFK \u2013 the most common reasons explained<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Why does my Tesla fail the vehicle inspection (MFK)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You drive your Tesla to the MFK, step out calmly and think:
\u201cElectric car, low wear, this should be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then you get the report: defects found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many Tesla drivers, this comes as a real surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 Regular inspections, for example every two years, can help prevent unnecessary issues such as increased tyre wear early on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\n\n\n\n

The reality: a Tesla also has wear and tear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Tesla does not have a traditional combustion engine.
However, that does not mean the vehicle is maintenance-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Components such as suspension, brakes and chassis parts are often exposed to higher loads than in conventional vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that is exactly where the MFK focuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

T\u00dcV Report 2026 shows a clear picture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Looking at Germany helps to better understand the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The T\u00dcV, comparable to the Swiss MFK, shows in its latest report:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 The Tesla Model Y has a defect rate of 17.3%
\ud83d\udc49 This places it last out of 110 vehicles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Model 3 performs slightly better but is still in the lower part of the ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not an exception, but a clear pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And these are exactly the issues we see daily at
H\u00fcsser and Palkoska AG, your independent Tesla specialist in the canton of Zug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common reasons why Teslas fail the MFK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Suspension and chassis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A Tesla is heavy. The battery adds significant weight to the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This leads to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
