2017 BMW I3 0.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · T20 DAH

The BMW I3 last passed its MOT on 18 September 2025 at 32 255 miles with no recorded defects, indicating a currently roadworthy condition. The immediate predecessor test on 9 September 2024 also returned a pass at 28 987 miles, following a same‑day failure for excessive headlamp aim on both nearside and offside (4.1.2 (a)). The rapid resolution of that lighting fault suggests the issue was addressed promptly, and the subsequent annual passes demonstrate a stable, improving maintenance trend. Mileage accumulation has remained modest throughout the vehicle’s life, averaging roughly 3 600 miles per year. The progression shows a gradual increase: from 16 232 miles in September 2020 to 18 471 miles in September 2021 (+2 239 miles), then to 26 056 miles in September 2023 (+7 585 miles over two years), followed by 28 987 miles in September 2024 (+2 931 miles) and finally 32 255 miles in September 2025 (+3 268 miles). This low‑mileage profile points to light usage or periods of storage, reducing typical wear on consumables, suspension bushes, coil springs and drivetrain components. The annual testing schedule is consistent, with no significant gaps in the record. A prospective buyer should focus inspection on the recurring wear items highlighted in the history. The 2021 test flagged front tyres at 3.0–3.1 mm and rear tyres at 2.5–2.7 mm tread depth, both approaching the legal minimum of 1.6 mm, indicating that tyre replacement or rotation is overdue. The 2024 headlamp aim failure warrants a check of the lighting assembly alignment and any related suspension geometry that could affect beam positioning. Additionally, examine the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, assess brake disc condition and caliper operation for binding, and verify the battery pack and high‑voltage cabling for corrosion or degradation, as low‑mileage EVs can develop latent issues if left stationary for extended periods. A thorough visual and functional review of these systems will confirm whether the vehicle’s low‑mileage advantage translates into reliable long‑term usability.
