BMW i3: what MOT records show

MOT records show 89.5% of BMW i3s pass the MOT first time, 4.4 points better than the national average for cars of the same age (85.1%). Counted from 2,620 DVSA tests on cars registered 2015–2022; a pass with rectification at the station counts as a pass here, and as a failure in DVSA's own initial-test measure.

A car with only minor defects or advisories still passes its MOT; a major or dangerous defect is a fail. Class 4 tests in Great Britain, test type NT (a normal annual test), retests excluded. A pass, or a pass with rectification at the station, counts as a first-time pass; DVSA's own initial-test measure counts a rectified pass as a failure and so reports a lower figure. Testing in Northern Ireland is run separately by the DVA under its own rules.

  • Make sure the V5C logbook matches the seller and the vehicle, and ask for the service history.
