Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 14 May 2026 at 29,774 miles with no recorded defects. This result indicates the car meets current roadworthiness standards at this specific moment. The maintenance trend appears generally stable over the last four years, characterized by passes in 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 without any major failures. A single instance of advisories appeared in June 2025 concerning rear tyre tread depth, yet these issues resolved themselves before the subsequent annual inspection. At 29,774 miles, this eight-year-old BMW i8 sits well below the average annual distance for its class. Mileage accumulation has remained consistent, averaging roughly 3,700 miles per year since the first recorded entry in March 2022. The intervals between tests vary slightly, ranging from eleven to fourteen months, but the odometer readings confirm regular movement rather than extended periods of standing. Such low usage often preserves engine internals and suspension geometry, though it can sometimes mask corrosion issues if the vehicle spends significant time stationary. Previous records highlight recurring attention needed around the rear wheels and tyres. An offside rear nail appeared in March 2022, followed by nearside and offside rear tyres nearing the legal limit in June 2025. While these are consumable items, their recurrence suggests the owner monitored pressure and tread closely enough to avoid failure, yet perhaps delayed replacement until the limits tightened. No structural warnings or mechanical faults appeared in any test during this period. Brake discs and suspension bushes warrant visual confirmation despite the clean record. A prospective buyer should verify the current tread depth on all four corners and inspect the rubber seals for drying cracks given the age and low mileage profile.
