2022 BMW I3 Electricity · HT71 NLR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 19 January 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the immediate failure on that same date indicates a lapse in basic safety inspections. The tester flagged a nearside rear tyre with exposed cords, but once this defect was rectified, the vehicle passed with no further advisories or defects, suggesting the primary mechanical and structural components remain in an acceptable condition for its age and mileage. The recorded mileage of 25,021 miles over four years reflects an average annual usage of approximately 6,255 miles. This low-mile profile is consistent with a light-use vehicle and typically implies less strain on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and brake assemblies. Between the January 2025 test at 19,900 miles and the January 2026 test, the car covered 5,120 miles, indicating a consistent and predictable driving pattern rather than long periods of inactivity or sudden heavy. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres to ensure the previously failed nearside rear was replaced with a quality unit that matches the remaining tread depth. Since the 2025 test noted a child seat prevented a full inspection of the adult seat belt, a manual check of the belt tension mechanism and webbing is necessary to ensure full compliance. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for signs of age on rubber components or flat spots on the tyres, which can occur in vehicles that sit for extended periods between uses.
