2022 BMW IX3 M Sport Electric · FG72 BJX

The vehicle most recently underwent its MOT test on 5 September 2025 and achieved a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Given that this is a relatively new vehicle entering its first testing cycle, the absence of any noted faults indicates a stable maintenance trend and suggests that the car has been kept in a condition consistent with its manufacturer specifications. The recorded mileage of 68,512 miles is significantly higher than the average for a four year old vehicle, representing an annual usage rate of approximately 17,128 miles. Such rapid mileage accumulation typically implies extensive motorway use, which is generally less taxing on the drivetrain than urban driving, yet it inevitably accelerates the wear and tear of critical consumables and chassis components. A prospective buyer should be aware that the vehicle is further along its mechanical lifecycle than a typical example of this age. Despite the clean MOT record, the high mileage necessitates a rigorous physical inspection of the chassis and running gear. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the tyres, checking for uneven wear patterns that could indicate misalignment or worn suspension bushes. During a test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension system and feel for any vibration through the steering wheel, as coil springs and bushings may be approaching the end of their primary service life. While regenerative braking reduces the load on the friction brakes, the brake discs should be inspected for thinning or surface corrosion, and the calipers checked for any signs of binding. Finally, it is essential to verify the comprehensive service history to ensure that time and distance based maintenance has been strictly adhered to. This includes checking for documented brake fluid flushes and cabin filter replacements. Given the high mileage, the health of the 12V auxiliary battery should be verified, as these often degrade regardless of the main traction battery state. Ensure that all electronic systems and driver assistance sensors are functioning correctly, as the high frequency of use increases the likelihood of minor faults in the auxiliary electrical systems.
