BMW I5 Edrive40 Sport Edition (2024)
2024 BMW I5 Edrive40 Sport Edition
CarHunch analysed 141 real MOT records for the 2024 BMW I5 Edrive40 Sport Edition. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This BMW i5 eDrive40 Sport Edition is deeply unreliable so far: only 12.1% of these vehicles pass their MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, and over 88% are failing on their first attempt. While dangerous defects are mercifully rare at 1.4%, the sheer failure rate is a major red flag for potential buyers.
The median mileage of 30,482 miles is reasonable for 2024 models, yet these cars are still racking up failures despite low wear—suggesting fundamental design or manufacturing issues rather than age-related wear. The near-absence of advisories (0.0 per vehicle) is unusual and hints at systematic faults triggering outright failures instead of warning signs. If you're considering one, insist on a pre-purchase inspection by a BMW specialist and budget for warranty claims or repair costs.
What to check before buying a 2024 BMW I5 Edrive40 Sport Edition
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
