2018 BMW I3 Electric · MY18 DEB

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-18 at 74,871 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but an identical date and mileage also show a fail with no defects listed. This inconsistency suggests a possible administrative error or unrecorded technical issue. Previous tests from 2024-02-29 (66,187 miles) and 2023-02-16 (58,420 miles) both passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident from the record, though the dual outcome for the 2025 test raises questions about the reliability of the data. The vehicle’s mileage of 74,871 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 9,359 miles, consistent with its 8-year age. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests spans 12 months, with a 7,767-mile increase, reflecting typical usage. No significant spikes or prolonged inactivity are apparent, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into component wear. The absence of advisories or failures in prior tests suggests the car has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, though this does not guarantee absence of hidden issues. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s service history for unrecorded repairs, particularly if the 2025 fail was due to a technical anomaly. Inspect suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, for wear, as these often degrade over time without immediate failure. Check brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear, and assess the exhaust system for leaks or rust, as these can develop gradually. The absence of structural corrosion reports is positive, but a physical inspection is essential to confirm the car’s integrity, especially given the ambiguous 2025 test outcome.
