2017 BMW 225 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · YA17 AEU

The 2017 BMW 225 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, as the April 2025 MOT at 19,623 miles recorded no defects, matching the pattern of flawless outcomes in the three preceding annual tests. From the 2022‑04‑19 test at 11,009 miles to the 2025‑04‑15 test at 19,623 miles, the odometer rose by 8,614 miles over three years, averaging about 2,871 miles annually, which is modest for a nine‑year‑old car, and at an average of 2,180 miles per year since new, the car has accumulated only about 19,600 miles in nine years, indicating light usage or extended periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or seizure, verify that the rear brake calipers move freely and that the discs show no scoring, and examine the chassis and wheel arches for rust that could compromise structural integrity, especially given the low annual mileage that may allow corrosion to develop unnoticed. Overall, the absence of recorded defects across four consecutive tests suggests diligent maintenance, but the low mileage warrants a close look at wear‑prone components to confirm that the vehicle remains truly roadworthy.
