MOT Roadworthiness: Good
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.

Our Verdict
Caution: While the low mileage and recent MOT pass are positives, the repeated MOT failures and tyre wear advisories indicate potential underlying issues that could increase maintenance costs; proceed with a thorough inspection and consider price negotiation.
Check the condition of the parking brake mechanism and ensure it functions correctly; inspect the suspension and wheel alignment given the tyre wear advisories; verify that the washer pump and fluid system are operating properly, as repeated washer fluid deficiencies may indicate electrical or pump wear; request service history to see if these issues have been addressed; consider a professional inspection focusing on the electric drivetrain components, battery health, and tyre condition; negotiate price based on the needed remedial work.
As an electric vehicle, fuel cost is negligible (electricity). Road tax is zero for most EVs (Band Z). Insurance group is likely moderate (around group 45). Typical maintenance costs are lower than ICE vehicles but tyre replacement may be needed soon due to wear; estimate annual running cost £600-£800 covering electricity, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance.
Focus on tyre condition and alignment, parking brake operation, washer system functionality, brake pads and discs, suspension components, battery health (if accessible), and check for any corrosion or damage to the underbody; also verify that the MOT failures were remedied and that the electric drivetrain shows no signs of leakage or abnormal wear.
The BYD E6 is a 2014 electric vehicle with only 9,089 miles recorded in its latest MOT, indicating low usage. It passed its most recent 2026 MOT with no major defects, but earlier tests in 2025 and 2018 recorded multiple failures related to washer fluid, parking brake efficiency, and all four tyres being worn close to the legal limit. The vehicle’s age and lack of aggregate reliability data mean buyers should weigh the low running costs against the risk of hidden mechanical or electrical faults.
No aggregate reliability data for the BYD E6 is available, but its electric powertrain generally has fewer moving parts than combustion engines; however, the recorded MOT issues suggest potential suspension, brake, and electrical system weaknesses.
