2015 BMW I8 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · A13 FAA

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward neglected consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in October 2023 at 30,111 miles passed, it introduced advisories for rear tyres worn close to the legal limit. This mirrors the findings from the September 2022 test at 30,077 miles, indicating a consistent pattern of failing to address tyre wear despite the low overall usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,737 miles per year. There is a significant two-year gap between the February 2020 test at 29,259 miles and the September 2022 test at 30,077 miles, during which the car covered only 818 miles. This suggests the vehicle likely sat stationary for extended periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, flat-spotting of tyres, and internal corrosion within the brake system that a standard MOT may not fully capture. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the underside, as the records repeatedly note that under-trays are obscuring components since 2018. This lack of visibility prevents a clear assessment of the structural integrity or checking for fluid leaks and chassis corrosion. Given the low mileage and long intervals, specific attention is required for seized brake calipers, perished suspension bushes, and the age of the tyres. The recurring edge wear on the rear tyres also necessitates a professional alignment check to rule out geometry issues that could cause premature wear of new rubber.
