BMW I7 MOT reliability
There were not enough MOT tests of BMW I7s in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.
BMW I7 registrations over time
Registrations of BMW I7s for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 932 in 2025. In 2025, 932 were registered.

BMW I7 safety recalls
We found no recalls for the BMW I7 in DVSA’s records since 1992. That does not mean none apply: DVSA sometimes records a recall under a range or chassis name we cannot match to a model. Check a specific car on GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every BMW I7. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
