2019 BMW I8 1.5L Hybrid electric · YF19 CFA

Most recent MOT (2026‑04‑22) – The car passed, but the test flagged rear tyres on the nearside and off‑side as “worn close to the legal limit” and noted rear brake pads “wearing thin”. These are the only items recorded at the latest test. Recurring pattern – Over the last four years the MOT reports have repeatedly highlighted tyre tread approaching the legal minimum (front tyres in 2023 and 2025, rear tyres in 2026) and thin rear brake pads from 2023 onward. In 2025 the brake discs were also described as “worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened”. The child‑seat obstruction and wiper‑blade defects were one‑off items that have since disappeared. Condition trend – The tyre‑wear and brake‑pad warnings are persisting rather than improving. While no outright failures have occurred, the consistency of these alerts suggests a gradual decline in the wear items as mileage climbs. The trend is therefore worsening in the sense that wear is accumulating and will soon require replacement if it has not already been addressed. Mileage versus age – At 59,341 mi after roughly seven years the average is about 8,500 mi per year, which is typical for a BMW i8. The mileage figure does not point to excessive hard use, but it also does not rule out periods of low usage followed by higher‑mile runs.
