2021 BMW I3 Electric · YC71 ONB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 26 June 2026 at 26,789 miles. The maintenance trend remains stable, as the car achieved clean passes in the 2024 and 2025 inspections. However, the most recent test introduced the first advisory regarding the nearside and offside front tyres, indicating the onset of material degradation despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,358 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap of 1,000 miles between October 2024 and July 2025, followed by a more rapid increase of 8,276 miles over the final year. This low-frequency usage generally suggests that mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension has been minimal, though it also increases the likelihood of rubber-based components suffering due to age rather than friction. A prospective buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front tyres, as the June 2026 test flagged cracking and perishing. Since the vehicle sits for long periods, these tyres are likely to suffer from dry rot before the tread depth reaches the legal limit. You should also verify the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage cars often develop heavy rust on the rotors if not used frequently enough to clear the oxidation. The absence of structural defects or suspension failures in the history suggests the chassis has remained well-protected.
