2020 BMW I3 Electricity · LB70 RHO

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in basic upkeep. While the car passed through its 2023 and 2024 tests with zero defects, the most recent inspection in January 2026 at 78,189 miles flagged multiple advisories regarding tyre condition. The tester identified the nearside front and both rear tyres as worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear, indicating a need for immediate consumable replacement and potential alignment adjustment. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per annum. A significant spike in usage occurred between November 2024 test at 62,647 miles and the January 2026 test at 78,189 miles, where the car covered 15,542 miles in just fourteen months. This rapid accumulation places accelerated stress on the suspension components, bushings, and braking system compared to lower-mileage fleet examples. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension and steering geometry, as the edge wear noted on multiple tyres often suggests tracking issues or worn control arms and bushes. Given the high mileage and the recent appearance of tyre faults, the brake discs and pads should be checked for uneven wear or thinning. While the history shows no structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures to date, the transition from a clean record to multiple tyre advisories suggests the vehicle may only be maintained reactively rather than proactively.
