2020 BMW I3 Electricity · FG20 KKP

The most recent MOT from June 2026 shows a pass, but it reveals a significant pattern of tyre-related issues. While the vehicle has passed its tests, the latest inspection flagged all four tyres for either being worn close to the legal limit or showing signs of cracking and perishing. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be worsening in terms of consumable maintenance. While 2024 and 2025 were largely defect-free, the sudden appearance of multiple tyre issues in 2026 suggests that maintenance of wear items is being deferred. The recurring mention of rear tyres being worn close to the limit in both 2023 and 2026 also indicates a pattern of running tyres until they are near failure. With only 25,859 miles covered over six years, this BMW i3 has been driven significantly less than the UK average. This low annual mileage of roughly 4,310 miles suggests the car may spend long periods stationary. This context explains the "cracking or perishing" noted on the front tyres, as rubber tends to degrade and dry out when a vehicle is not used regularly, regardless of how little distance it has covered. The low mileage is a positive indicator for the drivetrain and major components, but it introduces specific risks regarding rubber perishability and potential battery health due to inactivity. Before purchasing, you must physically inspect the condition of all four tyres to ensure they are not just legal, but structurally sound and free from deep cracking.
