Mechanical Assessment

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

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 December 2025 at 14,917 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates, indicating the car has been kept in a roadworthy condition without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is very low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,486 miles per year. Between 2 December 2023 and 15 December 2025, the odometer rose from 7,300 to 14,917 miles. This low usage suggests the car has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short commutes. While the lack of wear is positive, low-mileage electric vehicles can sometimes suffer from tyre flat-spotting or battery degradation if not charged and exercised regularly. The record shows a failure on 4 December 2024 at 10,973 miles, though it passed on the same day with no defects listed. This suggests a minor administrative error or a quick rectification of a trivial item that the tester did not deem necessary to detail in the final pass certificate. There are no mentions of corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake binding across any of the entries. A physical inspection should focus on consumables that degrade with age rather than mileage. Check the tyre sidewalls for cracking and the brake discs for surface corrosion, as low-use vehicles often see brakes seize or discs pit. Verify the health of the 12V auxiliary battery, as these frequently fail on low-mileage BMW i3 models.
