Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 BMW Ix Xdrive40 Sport Edition?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

The 2022 BMW iX xDrive40 Sport Edition passes its first MOT 84.4% of the time, comfortably ahead of the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are rare at just 2.9% of vehicles tested. This is a genuinely reliable electric SUV in its early years, with minimal failure risk.

At under 34,000 miles on average, these cars are still very new and barely run in, so the strong pass rate reflects that honeymoon period rather than long-term durability. The 0.7 advisories per vehicle suggests minor wear is starting to show, but the 0.13 failures per vehicle means serious problems remain uncommon—if you're buying one, focus your pre-purchase inspection on battery health and software updates rather than mechanical repairs.
