2017 BMW 225 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · RE67 ACO

This BMW 225 presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 12 September 2025 at 58,761 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean certificates dating back to May 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without the recurring mechanical failures often seen in cars of this vintage. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a nine year old vehicle. The distance increased from 35,648 miles in May 2022 to 58,761 miles by September 2025. This average of roughly 6,500 miles per year indicates regular use, which generally prevents the perishing of rubber seals and the seizing of brake calipers associated with long periods of standing. A technical anomaly appears on 21 May 2024, where the car failed and passed on the same day at 50,367 miles, though the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error rather than a mechanical failure. Given the absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion, there are no red flags in the official record. The lack of mentioned rust or structural integrity issues is positive for a 2017 model. A buyer should still perform a physical check of the tyre tread depths and brake pad thickness, as these consumables are not always flagged until they reach the legal limit. The overall history implies a diligent previous owner who addressed maintenance before it became a test failure. Focus the physical inspection on the service book to ensure the oil change intervals align with the steady mileage growth, as the MOT record alone does not confirm engine lubrication history.
