2015 BMW I8 1.5L Hybrid electric · SW15 CZR

The most recent MOT, carried out on 6 June 2025, was a clean pass at 30,940 miles with no recorded defects. This is the third consecutive annual pass, following clean passes in June 2024 and May 2023 (the latter noting a minor off‑side front seat‑belt damage). The only recurring issues in the record are cosmetic/low‑severity items: a slightly damaged off‑side front seat‑belt (2023), a near‑side floor‑shield damage (2022) and a shallow cut on the off‑side rear tyre (2022). The 2022 test also flagged an insufficient washer‑fluid supply, which was rectified for the subsequent pass. None of these items were flagged as safety‑critical failures after 2022, and the vehicle has shown no new defects in the last two years. Overall the trend appears stable, moving from a single failure in 2022 to clean passes in 2023, 2024 and 2025. There is no evidence of worsening mechanical condition; rather, the vehicle seems to have been maintained to the point of passing the test each year. Mileage is very low for a 2015 model – about 2,800 miles per year on average. This could indicate light, infrequent use, which generally reduces wear on drivetrain, suspension and brake components. However, low annual mileage can also mean the car spends long periods idle, which can accelerate ageing of rubber parts (tires, seals, hoses) and corrosion of under‑body components.
