2022 BMW IX3 M Sport PRO Electric · HN72 AAZ

As a fully electric vehicle, this iX3 benefits from zero road tax (VED) under current UK regulations, though this is subject to government policy changes. Insurance will likely fall into a higher group due to the vehicle's performance and repair costs associated with premium electric components.

Maintenance costs are generally lower than combustion-engined equivalents due to fewer moving parts, though you should budget for cabin air filters and brake fluid changes. Expect an estimated annual running cost of £700-£900, depending heavily on your home charging setup and annual mileage.

During your physical inspection, check the underside for any signs of damage to the battery casing, although the clean 2025 MOT pass suggests this is not an issue here. Test all interior technology, particularly the infotainment screen and driver assistance systems, which are central to the M Sport Pro experience.

Verify that the charging port flap operates smoothly and that the charge indicator light functions correctly. While the MOT history is clean, do not neglect a visual check of the suspension components and brake discs, as electric vehicles rely heavily on regenerative braking, which can lead to surface corrosion on discs if the car has sat for long periods.
