2017 BMW 225 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LC67 HBA

This vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate over the last nine years. The most recent test on 29 May 2026 at 52,566 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This indicates a current need for immediate tyre replacement to ensure grip and safety. The mileage is low for a 2017 model, averaging roughly 5,841 miles per year. The record shows a significant increase in usage recently, jumping from 26,838 miles in May 2023 to 52,566 miles by May 2026. This shift from light use to more frequent driving may accelerate the wear of consumables. Prior to 2023, the car saw very little activity, with only 16,420 miles recorded by June 2021. The historical data is remarkably clean, with no recorded defects between May 2021 and May 2025. The only significant failure occurred on 24 December 2020 at 15,633 miles, where the tester identified a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and a deep cut in the offside rear tyre. These were isolated issues and were resolved on the same day. A buyer should focus on the front tyres during a physical inspection, as the May 2026 advisories suggest uneven wear on the edges. This pattern often points to incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. Given the low overall mileage and periods of standing, checking for perished rubber seals and battery health is advisable, though the MOT record shows no evidence of structural corrosion or brake deterioration.
