2024 BMW I5 M60 Xdrive Electric · M33 ESM

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 29 August 2026, although this followed an immediate failure on the same date. The failure was classified as dangerous due to the offside rear tyre having exposed ply or cords, accompanied by an advisory for the nearside rear tyre being worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This pattern suggests a reactive approach to vehicle maintenance, as allowing a tyre to deteriorate to a dangerous state indicates a lack of regular safety inspections by the previous owner. With a recorded mileage of 39,342 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged nearly 10,000 miles per annum. This is considered typical usage for a vehicle of this age and class, meaning the drivetrain and suspension components should not exhibit premature wear. There are no indications of prolonged standing or excessive high-mileage stress, though the vehicle is now entering a phase where standard wear-and-tear items will require closer scrutiny. Given the specific nature of the MOT failure and the advisory regarding edge wear on the rear tyres, a thorough inspection of the current tyre set is essential. The buyer should check for uneven tread wear across the width of the tyres, which often points to incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. During a test drive, pay close attention to any steering drift or unusual vibrations through the chassis, as these can be symptoms of underlying alignment issues that may have contributed to the premature tyre degradation noted in the records. Beyond the tyres, the buyer should evaluate the condition of the brake discs. Because electric vehicles rely heavily on regenerative braking, the physical brake discs are used less frequently and are prone to surface corrosion or binding calipers. Ensure the brakes feel responsive and do not shudder during deceleration. Additionally, verify the health of the 12V accessory battery and check the cabin air filters for saturation, as these are common maintenance points for a four-year-old Model Y that may have been overlooked given the previous owner's maintenance history.
