2014 BMW I8 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · W9 RNA

The most recent MOT (7 Oct 2025) was a clean pass at 61,634 mi with no recorded defects. The only non‑critical comment in the last three years is a slight front‑wiper smearing noted at the 4 Oct 2024 test – a cosmetic issue that does not affect driver visibility. Across the five consecutive annual tests (2021‑2025) the car has consistently passed without any safety‑related failures. There is no evidence of a recurring mechanical problem, and the pattern of results is stable – the vehicle is not showing a worsening trend, nor are new defects emerging. At roughly 5,100 mi per year, the 61,634 mi recorded on a 12‑year‑old BMW i8 is well below the average for its age. Low mileage can indicate light, gentle use, which generally means less wear on brakes, suspension, tyres and drivetrain components. Conversely, it may also suggest periods of prolonged inactivity, which can lead to issues such as dried seals or battery ageing in hybrid systems. The mileage signal is therefore ambiguous and should be investigated further. For a prospective buyer the priority checks should be: - Inspect the battery and hybrid power‑train for any signs of reduced capacity or fluid leaks. - Verify the service history, especially any recent work on the electric system or coolant circuits.
