2018 BMW I3 Electricity · LT18 UAY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent failure to address consumable wear proactively. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 65,913 miles passed, it flagged front tyres worn close to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This follows a failure just six days prior in January 2025 where all four tyres were rejected for insufficient tread depth. This pattern suggests the owner only replaces components upon an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with typical annual use for this age, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year over the eight-year period. There is a notable gap of 10,640 miles recorded between January 2024 and January 2025, followed by only 1,314 miles between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests. This recent drop in usage suggests the car may have been sitting more frequently, though the recurring tyre issues indicate that the lower mileage has not resulted in more thorough mechanical inspections. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the repeated mention of tyres worn on the edges across 2023, 2024, and 2026 indicates a likely tracking issue or worn suspension bushes. The braking history also shows thin front pads in 2023 and 2024, alongside a pitted offside rear disc in 2023. Current state of the pads and discs should be verified for thickness and uneven wear. Given the history of perishing rubber in 2023 and 2024, the sidewalls of the current tyres should be checked for dry rot cracking despite their tread depth.
