2023 BMW I4 EDRIVE40 M Sport Electricity · AE72 EUX

The 2023 BMW i4 eDrive40 M Sport currently holds a valid MOT, having passed its most recent test on 16 January 2026 at 68,634 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, with only a minor windscreen advisory recorded. No mechanical or structural failures have been flagged, indicating the car has been kept in sound running order. The mileage pattern is notably aggressive. In roughly three years, the car has covered 68,634 miles, averaging approximately 22,878 miles per year. The MOT history is sparse, with only one recorded test on 16 January 2026. This single data point makes it difficult to chart a long-term wear trajectory, but the high annual mileage implies sustained, intensive use rather than light commuting. The MOT expiry date of 15 January 2027 means the certificate is just over six months old, so the next test is not yet imminent. A buyer should still approach with scrutiny. The advisory for a chipped offside lower windscreen is minor, but stone damage on EVs can sometimes spread due to the lack of engine noise masking the impact point. More pressing is the implication of 68,000-plus miles in a short timeframe. High-mileage electric cars place significant demand on suspension bushes, anti-roll bar links, and tyres, as the heavy battery pack increases unsprung loads. The nearside and offside tyre sidewalls should be inspected closely for bulges or uneven wear, and the front suspension should be checked for knocking or play, as these components degrade faster under sustained high-mileage use. The braking system and drivetrain also warrant attention. While no brake faults were flagged at the January 2026 test, regenerative braking systems on the i4 can mask early-stage caliper sticking or disc corrosion until it becomes severe. A test drive should include a sustained gentle stop from moderate speed to confirm the car tracks straight and the brake pedal feels firm without pulsing. Inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion on subframes or mounting points, as high annual mileage in varied weather conditions can accelerate surface rust even on a relatively new vehicle.
