This 2019 BMW 330E is a serious reliability gamble: just 31.7% pass first time, less than half the UK average of 80%, and the hybrid electric variant performs even worse at 22.6%. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent and actual failures are minimal (0.02 per vehicle), which suggests the problems are typically minor electrical or emissions niggles rather than safety threats.
With median mileage sitting at a reasonable 51,845 miles for a five-year-old car, the low pass rate points to systematic issues with the hybrid system itself rather than wear-and-tear. Before viewing one, have an independent technician with hybrid expertise run a full diagnostic on the battery management and electric motor—dealership repairs on these are expensive, and the first-time failure pattern suggests you'll face MOT retests as a normal cost of ownership.
