2019 BMW I8 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · YK68 HBS

The most recent MOT on 2025-05-23 recorded two rear tyres worn close to the legal limit, with no other defects. This suggests ongoing tyre wear, though no immediate safety risks were flagged. The 2024-01-18 MOT revealed a failure due to all four tyres being below the 1.6mm tread depth requirement, along with front tyre wear and a minor windscreen crack. This indicates a pattern of tyre-related issues, likely tied to maintenance or usage habits. Recurring tyre wear has been documented since 2023, with near-limit conditions in 2023-01-25, 2024-01-18, and 2025-05-23. While the 2025 MOT showed no failures, the continued mention of tyres near the legal limit suggests unresolved maintenance concerns. The 2024-05-14 MOT, between the 2024-01-18 failure and 2025-05-23 pass, showed no defects, but this could reflect temporary fixes rather than long-term resolution. The trend shows no clear improvement, with tyre wear persisting despite multiple inspections. The vehicle’s low mileage (21,252 miles over 7 years) implies infrequent use or periods of inactivity, which can accelerate tyre degradation through dry rot or uneven wear. However, the low mileage also suggests less wear on components like brakes and suspension.
