Our Verdict
A consistent performer with a 100% MOT p
Prioritise checking whether the corroded front coil springs identified in the May 2025 MOT were replaced or treated, as this is a common failure point for the i3. You should also verify the current state of the tyres, specifically the offside rear, to ensure the cut noted in 2025 has been addressed.
Given that the mileage is significantly above the model average, request a battery health report to assess current capacity and range. Ensure the service history is documented, as higher mileage vehicles require diligent adherence to maintenance schedules to avoid premature wear on auxiliary components.
As a fully electric vehicle, the i3 offers significantly lower 'fuel' costs compared to internal combustion engine alternatives, though actual spend will vary based on whether the owner uses home or public charging. Insurance groups for the i3 are typically moderate, and it benefits from the current UK tax advantages for zero-emission vehicles.
Annual maintenance costs are generally lower for EVs due to fewer moving parts, but tyre replacement can be a recurring cost for this model. The estimated annual running cost, including electricity, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, is approximately £600-£900.
The primary area for inspection is the front suspension. Reference the May 2025 MOT advisory regarding corrosion on both the nearside and offside front coil springs; check for any signs of failure or recent replacement. This aligns with aggregate data showing coil springs as a top failure reason for this model.
Carefully inspect all four tyres for cuts or uneven wear, as tyres are another frequent point of failure for the i3. Finally, check the operation of the windscreen washers, which is a common minor failure point across the wider BMW i3 fleet.
This white 2019 BMW i3 has recorded 58,678 miles as of its most recent MOT in May 2026. It has passed all four of its recorded MOT tests, although the May 2025 inspection noted corrosion on both front coil springs and a cut in the offside rear tyre. The vehicle's total mileage is notably higher than the model average of 6,372 miles per year.
The BMW i3 is generally reliable with an aggregate MOT pass rate of 90%, with most failures relating to tyres and suspension components.
