No MOT history yet — it's too new

UK

The 2025 BYD SEALION 7 EXCELLENCE EV AWD has no MOT test history in the DVLA light-vehicle database yet—1,791 vehicles have been registered, but none have completed their first MOT, which typically occurs three years after registration. This is entirely normal for a very new model year and tells us nothing about reliability; the car simply hasn't aged into the MOT system. When these vehicles do begin their first tests in 2028, you'll be able to compare their pass rates against the UK average of 80%, but for now there's no defect or failure data available.

As a new electric vehicle from BYD, what matters to a prospective buyer is understanding the brand's track record and warranty cover rather than MOT statistics. Check the manufacturer's warranty terms (typically 6–8 years on the battery for EVs), review independent reviews of the SEALION 7's build quality and software, and confirm that your local dealer network can service it competently. Plan to revisit MOT data in 2028 when real-world durability information becomes available—until then, rely on new-car reviews and owner forums to assess whether this model suits your needs.
