2016 BMW I3 0.6L Hybrid electric · RK66 STX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern of reactive rather. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 71,594 miles passed, the tester flagged all four tyres as being close to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This indicates a trend where the owner only addresses consumables when they trigger an MOT advisory or reach a critical threshold, rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between February 2023 and March 2026, the car covered 10,343 miles, representing a steady usage pattern. However, the failure in February 2023 at 61,251 miles due to low brake efficiency and a rear tyre below the 1.6mm limit suggests that at that point in time, mechanical upkeep was neglected until the annual inspection. A buyer must closely inspect the suspension geometry and alignment, as the recurring edge wear noted across multiple tyres in 2023, 2025, and 2026 suggests worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking settings. The previous failure for brake efficiency in 2023 also warrants a thorough check of the brake calipers and discs to ensure no persistent seizing or corrosion remains. Given the history of perishing and cracking noted in 2023, the rubber condition of the current tyres should be scrutinized for dry rot, regardless of remaining tread depth.
