2017 BMW I3 0.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · HV67 EHO

This BMW i3 has maintained a consistently clean MOT history over its five most recent tests, all passing without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent inspection, conducted on 3 December 2025 at 47,094 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or advisory notes in the past year, suggesting the vehicle has either undergone diligent servicing or has inherently low-risk components for its age and mileage. The mileage progression indicates unusually light usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging just 5,233 miles annually. This pattern is unusual given typical UK driving habits, as the gaps between tests—ranging from 8,547 to 10,917 miles—suggest prolonged periods of inactivity. Such low mileage could imply the vehicle has been stored intermittently, which may accelerate wear on rubber seals, battery health, and suspension components due to lack of movement. Conversely, it may also reflect careful ownership with minimal high-speed or aggressive driving. Given the absence of MOT defects, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely tested. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as prolonged static periods can degrade these components. Brake discs and pads, while not flagged in tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been stored with wet tyres. The battery, given the low mileage, should be tested for voltage and capacity, as underuse can lead to premature failure. Finally, the underbody should be inspected for corrosion around wheel arches and sills, as standing water can accelerate rust in electric vehicles with exposed structural panels.
