2022 BMW I4 M50 Electric · OV22 ADZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a recent lapse in basic consumable maintenance. While the car passed its latest test in November 2025 at 32,372 miles, it followed a failure just one day prior. The tester flagged a nearside front tyre with exposed ply or cords, which is a critical safety defect. This failure suggests that the previous owner ignored significant tyre wear until the formal test forced action, indicating a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. At 32,372 miles over four years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,100 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a premium electric vehicle. There is a significant gap of 15,039 miles between the November 2024 test at 17,333 miles and the November 2025 test. The 2024 record showed no defects, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components were in good condition during the earlier period of the service history. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the remaining tyres, as the record specifically noted heavy wear on the edges of the offside front and offside rear tyres. This wear pattern often indicates alignment issues or incorrect inflation pressures. Given the high-torque nature of the M50 drivetrain, the suspension arm components should also be checked for uneven wear or damage to the bushings to ensure that the recent tyre degradation has not caused secondary damage to the steering geometry.
