2020 BMW I3 Electric · FJ70 HMV

The 2020 BMW i3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 August 2025 at 28,543 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken clean history across all three available MOT entries. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a six-year-old vehicle. The record shows 16,774 miles at the 15 August 2023 test, rising to 24,169 miles by 7 August 2024 and 28,543 miles by August 2025. That equates to roughly 4,757 miles per year, confirming light use with no sudden accumulation spikes. The sparse three-entry history carries no advisories, failures, or flagged wear items, which suggests the car spent long periods idle or on short urban trips rather than sustained motorway running. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. Low mileage combined with possible standing time raises the risk of perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and degraded suspension bushes that a pass test may not capture if within tolerance. The EV drivetrain removes engine-emission concerns, but brake discs and calipers can corrode through disuse; the tester logged no binding or scoring, yet in-person checks on rotor condition and handbrake function remain sensible. Structural integrity showed no corrosion or chassis advisories across the timeline. Given the absent defect history, prior owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current, though the limited sample means a pre-purchase inspection of battery cooling, 12-volt auxiliary battery, and underbody shielding is warranted before commitment.
