Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2020 BMW i3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 June 2025 at 23,975 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken clean history across all three available MOT entries. Mileage accumulation has been consistently low for the vehicle's six-year life. The record shows 11,174 miles at the 7 July 2023 test, rising to 14,990 miles by 13 June 2024, then 23,975 miles at the June 2025 test. That equates to roughly 3,996 miles per year. No gaps or abrupt accumulation appear; the clean pass sheets suggest the previous keeper kept the car lightly used and serviced to test standard. With no advisories or failures logged, the DVSA data reveals no recurring mechanical or structural faults to track. A buyer should still verify in person that standing time has not caused flat-spotted tyres, degraded suspension bushes, or surface corrosion to brake discs and underbody mounts. The electric drivetrain avoids emissions testing, but a physical check of the 12V auxiliary battery and charging port remains sensible given the low annual use.
