2016 BMW I8 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · 6235 FD

The 2016 BMW i8 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 14 November 2025 at 45,063 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior tests in November 2024 at 43,575 miles and November 2023 at 41,389 miles also passed clean. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across its five-year recorded history. Mileage sits low for a ten-year-old car at 45,063 recorded miles, averaging roughly 4,500 miles per year. The record spans from 35,771 miles on 10 November 2022 to the current 45,063, a gentle accumulation of under 10,000 miles across three years. A short gap appears between the failed and passed November 2023 tests at identical mileage of 41,389, indicating a same-week retest rather than a driven fault. Sparse clean entries suggest light use, possibly with long standing periods, though no advisories flag the consequential risks of stagnant fluids or perished seals. The only blemish is the 3 November 2023 failure at 41,389 miles, logged with no defects recorded, then passed three days later. This points to an administrative or emissions-readiness issue rather than a hard mechanical fault. A buyer should still verify the hybrid drivetrain battery state of charge and confirm no latent fault codes remain from that test cycle. Given the absence of advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the i8 requires only standard in-person checks: underbody condition for standing-water rust, tyre sidewall ageing from low mileage, and brake caliper freedom after limited use. The history implies a careful keeper who avoided consumable neglect.
