Mechanical Assessment

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

The BMW i3 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 22 October 2025 at 25,618 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend across the available record reads as stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged at any stage. A prior failure on 17 October 2025 at 25,518 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component issue. Mileage sits low for a 2021 registered vehicle, totalling 25,618 miles over roughly five years, an average near 5,124 miles annually. The record shows 18,542 miles on 4 October 2024 and 25,518 miles by 17 October 2025, a 6,976 mile gain across twelve months, then only 100 miles added before the pass five days later. Sparse entries and a clean defect history give little basis to suspect heavy consumable wear, though long stationary periods implied by low use can age tyres and brake discs through cracking or surface corrosion. A buyer should still confirm tyre sidewall condition and date codes, as rubber degrades with time regardless of tread depth. The brake discs and calipers warrant a visual check for rust pitting after the car's limited recent movement. No suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust, or structural integrity concerns appear in the MOT data, but a physical inspection beneath the floor pan and subframes remains sensible on any EV of this age.
