2015 BMW I3 0.6L Hybrid electric · EA15 TCZ

The BMW i3 presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent DVSA test on 17 February 2026 at 102,007 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across the five available annual examinations from February 2023 to February 2026 the vehicle cleared every assessment aside from an anomalous failure on 14 February 2025 at 94,434 miles where the tester logged no defects, followed by a pass the same day at 94,437 miles. This pattern indicates a consistently maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical or structural faults trending toward deterioration. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for an eleven-year-old car. The odometer advanced from 68,924 miles at the 16 February 2023 test to 82,713 miles by 16 February 2024, then to 94,434 miles on 14 February 2025, and finally 102,007 miles by February 2026. Annual distances eased from roughly 13,800 miles to about 7,600 miles in the latest period, suggesting the recent owner covered fewer miles. The documented history shows no gaps beyond the standard twelve-month cycle and remains free of advisories. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and six-figure mileage, as these components suffer silent wear not always captured in a pass result. The unexplained failure entry from February 2025 warrants a check of the DVSA refusal notice to confirm no hidden corrosion or drivetrain fault was rectified off-record. Examine the underbody for structural integrity and corrosion, particularly around sills and subframes.
