2017 BMW I3 Electric · BM02 ABY

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its most recent test on 1 November 2025 at 40,683 miles. This result indicates that all mechanical and safety components met the minimum standard without any recorded defects. While a minor failure occurred in February 2025, the immediate rectification of the headlamp and washer system suggests an owner who is responsive to basic maintenance requirements once they are identified. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in usage between January 2024 and February 2025, where the car covered only 930 miles in a year, suggesting periods of sitting stationary or very light urban use. This low mileage typically reduces the wear on high-stress drivetrain and suspension components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber seals or fluid breakdown which the MOT does not fully capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension bushings, as low-mile vehicles often suffer from seized calipers or corrosion on brake discs. Since the record shows no structural corrosion or suspension issues, the attention should remain on consumable items that age with time rather than distance. Verify the condition of the high-voltage battery and check the tyres for flat spotting or cracked sidewalls, which are common points of failure for electric vehicles driven infrequently.
