2018 BMW I3 0.6L Hybrid electric · AY18 DVC

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 25 April 2026 at 79,271 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the last three consecutive tests resulted in passes with no recorded defects or advisories. This sequence follows a failure on 29 December 2022, where the vehicle was flagged for a dangerous nearside rear tyre with tread depth below the legal limit. Since that intervention, the record shows no further recurring issues, suggesting that the immediate compliance concerns identified in late 2022 were addressed. The recorded mileage of 79,271 miles over an eight-year period averages approximately 9,900 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The testing frequency remains consistent, with annual inspections occurring regularly since the vehicle became eligible for testing. There are no significant gaps in the MOT history that would indicate prolonged periods of inactivity or storage, meaning the drivetrain and battery systems have likely experienced continuous, moderate use throughout the vehicle's life. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and braking system, as these areas are prone to wear at this mileage despite the clean recent MOT history. While the MOT records do not highlight structural corrosion or suspension bush degradation, the age of the vehicle warrants a check of the undercarriage and the integrity of the electric drivetrain housing. Inspect the current tyre condition closely to ensure the replacement fitted after the 2022 failure has been maintained properly. Given the absence of recent advisories, the mechanical risk level is assessed as low, resulting in a buying score of 85.
