BMW I32020 · Electric

The 2020 BMW i3 remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the 15 December 2025 MOT test at 60,255 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The DVSA examinations on 23 December 2024 at 49,695 miles and 30 December 2023 at 41,803 miles likewise produced clean passes. Three consecutive annual tests without advisories show the vehicle's mechanical and structural condition has held consistent. Mileage progression matches typical expectations for a six-year-old car. The odometer climbed from 41,803 miles in late December 2023 to 49,695 miles by December 2024, then to 60,255 miles at the most recent test. Those steps represent about 7,900 and 10,560 miles per year, averaging near 10,000 annually. No extended gaps appear beyond the standard twelve-month cycle, and the record reveals no sudden high-use spikes that often accelerate wear on drivetrain and suspension components. Lack of recorded faults suggests the previous keeper kept the i3 to a standard that satisfied examiners each time, though an MOT offers only a snapshot of condition on the day. A buyer should still arrange a hands-on check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage, as such parts wear gradually without breaching test limits. The i3's aluminium chassis and CFRP body resist corrosion, but underside mounting points and subframes merit visual scrutiny for environmental pitting. A buyer should also verify tyre tread and wiper blades, consumables often replaced outside the test window.
