2017 BMW I3 0.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · BK67 AAE

The most recent September2024 MOT at 73,265 miles recorded a pass, showing the vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the preceding September 2024 test revealed failures that were corrected before the successful outcome. The trend indicates improvement, as recurring defects such as the off‑side front coil spring corrosion, tyre tread shortfall and washer jet misalignment were addressed, yet the continued presence of spring corrosion suggests the underlying suspension maintenance remains insufficient. The odometer rose from 20,582 miles in September 2020 to 73,265 miles in September 2024, an average annual increase of roughly 8,141 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a 2017 model. The progression is steady with no anomalous jumps, and the 2023 and 2024 tests capture the vehicle at comparable mileage, confirming continuous use without long standing periods. A buyer should inspect the off‑side front coil spring and associated suspension bushes for corrosion and structural integrity, verify tyre tread depth and check for exposed cords or sidewall damage, and confirm that tyre sizes are matched on each axle. The brake discs have shown progressive wear and pitting across multiple tests, so measuring disc thickness and examining for scoring is essential, as is checking for binding calipers. Washer jet alignment and fluid delivery should be tested, and any structural rust on the chassis or suspension mounting points must be assessed for safety. Finally, the persistent off‑side front coil spring corrosion poses a structural risk that could affect suspension performance under load, so a physical examination of the spring, its mounts and surrounding chassis areas is required. The brake system should be evaluated for proper function and disc condition, while tyre condition and correct sizing must be verified to ensure the vehicle’s overall mechanical soundness.
