2025 BYD Seal U Comfort DM-I Phev Auto Hybrid electric (clean) · WJI 8059

The vehicle has no recorded MOT history in the DVSA database, so there is no recent test outcome to reference and consequently no trend in pass or fail results that can be evaluated. Without a documented MOT, the maintenance record cannot be judged as stable, worsening or improving, and the prospective buyer will need to rely on other evidence such as service stamps, receipts and a thorough pre‑purchase inspection. Mileage for this 2025 BYD Seal U Comfort DM‑I PHEV is not supplied, which prevents a direct comparison of kilometres driven against the vehicle’s age. For a one‑year‑old car a typical annual usage would be in the range of 8 000 to 12 000 miles; any figure substantially above that would suggest higher wear on the suspension bushings, tyre tread and the high‑voltage battery cooling system, while a very low figure could indicate prolonged periods of standing which may lead to brake disc rust and battery self‑discharge. In the absence of mileage data the buyer should request a full service history and, if possible, an electronic mileage read‑out from the vehicle’s on‑board diagnostics to confirm the odometer reading and to check for any gaps that might hide unrecorded usage. Given the lack of MOT data and the vehicle’s recent model year, the inspection should focus on age‑related items as well as the specific demands of a plug‑in hybrid powertrain. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or any signs of uneven wear that could indicate mis‑alignment or worn suspension components; check the tyre tread depth and verify that the recommended pressure is being maintained. Inspect the high‑voltage battery pack for any warning lights on the instrument cluster, listen for abnormal cooling fan operation, and ask for a recent battery health report from a BYD service centre to confirm that capacity and charge‑acceptance are within specification. Verify that the 12 V auxiliary battery terminals are clean, that the battery holds charge, and that the charging cable and inlet are free of corrosion or damage. Finally, review the brake system for any surface rust on the discs, especially if the car has been stored for extended periods, and test for smooth, pedal‑free operation without pulsation or shudder, which could indicate warped discs or sticking calipers. Confirm that all fluid levels – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and windshield washer – have been changed in accordance with the manufacturer’s calendar schedule, as time‑based degradation can occur even with low mileage. Ensure that the vehicle’s software is up to date, that all recall notices have been addressed, and that the service book contains recent stamps for both conventional and hybrid‑system maintenance. A comprehensive visual and road‑test inspection covering these points will give the buyer a clear picture of the car’s roadworthiness despite the absence of MOT records.
