2019 BMW I8 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · BM18 JON

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-01 recorded four tyres worn close to the legal limit, with edge wear on all front and rear tyres. This matches identical findings in the 2025-01-31 and 2024-01-23 MOTs, indicating a persistent issue. No other defects were noted in these tests, but the recurring tyre wear suggests either consistent under-inflation, alignment problems, or uneven driving patterns. The pattern of tyre wear has remained stable across three consecutive MOTs, with no indication of worsening. However, the fact that all four tyres are consistently near the legal limit implies a systemic issue rather than isolated damage. This could reflect long-term under-inflation, improper wheel balancing, or suspension wear affecting tyre contact patches. The vehicle’s mileage of 16,623 miles over seven years equates to roughly 2,375 miles annually, which is low for its age. This may indicate infrequent use or periods of storage, which can accelerate wear on non-driven components like rubber seals, fluids, and batteries. However, the MOT history shows no evidence of such issues beyond tyre wear. The low mileage could also mean the tyres have not been rotated regularly, leading to uneven wear.
