2019 BMW I3 Electric · LD69 WWY

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline regarding rubber components. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 16,392 miles passed, the tester flagged all four tyres for damage, cracking, or perishing. This represents a worsening from the November 2024 test at 13,243 miles, where only the nearside pair showed these signs of age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,342 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-usage intervals, with only 3,000 miles covered between the 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 2,867 miles between 2023 and 2024. This low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension, but the long periods of standing between uses often lead to chemical degradation of tyre rubber regardless of remaining tread depth. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the tyres to determine if the cracking and perishing indicate the rubber has reached the end of life due to oxidation. Given the low mileage, the brake discs may have suffered from surface corrosion or pitting due to disuse, so the calipers should be checked for seizing or uneven wear. The inspection should also include the suspension bushings and rubber seals for cracks, as these components often fail through age rather than mileage on low-mileage vehicles.
