2020 BMW I3 Electricity · EL67 NER

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 23,217 miles. While the car has consistently passed, the maintenance trend shows a clear worsening pattern regarding tyre condition. The January 2026 test flagged both the nearside and offside rear tyres as being near the legal limit with uneven wear, indicating that the condition of the rubber components is degrading despite the low annual mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,870 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 3,500 miles covered between the January 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 3,836 miles between 2025 and 2026. This low usage suggests that mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension is likely minimal, but it increases the risk of dry rot and rubber perishing, as seen in the record. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of all four tyres during a physical viewing. The January 2024 test at 15,681 miles identified cracking and perishing on the front tyres as well as edge wear on the rears. Because these issues have persisted or evolved over two years, the tyres are likely failing due to age rather than just tread depth. The inspector should also check for suspension alignment issues, as the recurring "worn on edge" notes in 2024 and 2026 suggest potential improper geometry or worn suspension bushes.
