2019 BMW I3 Electric · A25 RAC

The roadworthiness status of this BMW i3 is stable based on the most recent clean pass recorded on 25 November 2025 at 38,099 miles. The maintenance trend reflects an unusual sequence of events late in 2024, where the vehicle accumulated four consecutive tests within a single month, including a failure on 6 November 2024 followed by three successive passes on 7 November, 22 November, and 5 December 2024. While the final outcome of that testing cycle resolved the initial failure, the dense grouping of tests indicates rectification work took place during that period. The vehicle is approximately seven years old with 38,099 miles on the odometer, yielding an average of roughly 5,443 miles per year. This low mileage accumulation rate points to lighter than average use or potential periods of inactivity. The MOT history before late 2024 is entirely absent from the provided record, meaning there is no multi-year baseline to confirm how the structural and mechanical components aged during the first five years of the vehicle's life. Inspecting the vehicle in person requires particular attention to the high-voltage battery health, lightweight carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic passenger cell, and suspension components. Although the recent tests show no recorded defects or advisories, the sparse historical data means potential underlying wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake friction surfaces cannot be verified through the MOT log alone. Buyers should thoroughly check the physical condition of the brake discs and pads, as low-mileage electric vehicles frequently suffer from surface corrosion on braking components due to heavy reliance on regenerative braking rather than friction braking.
