Our Verdict
This 2018 BMW i3 presents a clean recent MOT history with two consecutive passes, though buyers should verify the reasons behind its single October 2025 test failure. With a mileage of 119,643 miles, it has been driven considerably more than the national model average.
When inspecting this 2018 BMW i3, request full documentation to explain the October 2025 MOT failure and subsequent same-day pass to ensure all rectification work was completed to a high standard. Given the high mileage of 119,643 miles compared to the model average of around 38,340 miles for an eight-year-old vehicle, examine the electric drivetrain and high-voltage battery health reports closely. Negotiate on price to reflect the high mileage and ensure all charging cables and equipment are present and functioning correctly.
Check the service records to confirm how frequently the vehicle has been maintained throughout its life. As an electric vehicle with a 2266.0cc equivalent classification, verify that software updates are up to date and that suspension components such as coil springs and tyres—noted as common failure areas across the i3 model range—show adequate remaining life.
As a pure electric vehicle, this BMW i3 benefits from zero road tax under standard UK VED rules and is exempt from London Congestion Charge and Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) fees, making daily commuting potentially very affordable. Insurance falls into a group determined by its specification, typically higher for electric models due to specialist carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) body repair costs.
Maintenance costs should factor in the heavy mileage of 119,643 miles, which may accelerate wear on suspension, brakes, and tyres compared to an average-mileage example. Routine servicing is generally lower than petrol or diesel equivalents, but specialist BMW attention may be required for electrical diagnostics.
Pay close attention to the areas highlighted by the model's aggregate data as frequent MOT pain points: tyres, coil springs, and windscreen washer systems. Check the condition of all four tyres for even wear patterns, as heavy electric torque can accelerate rubber degradation. Inspect the coil springs and suspension mounting points for corrosion or cracking, particularly given the vehicle's high mileage.
Examine the bodywork around the carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) structure for any signs of previous accident damage, as repairs to this material require specialist techniques. Finally, verify that the windscreen washers operate correctly and that the charging port latch and mechanism function without fault.
First registered in March 2018, this red electric BMW i3 features three recorded MOT tests spanning 2024 to 2025. The record shows a test failure on October 27, 2025, which was immediately rectified resulting in a pass on the same day with no recorded defects. Operating at 119,643 miles, it significantly exceeds the typical model average of 6,390 miles per year, reflecting heavy prior use.
The BMW i3 demonstrates a solid aggregate MOT pass rate of 90.0% across 26,865 analysed vehicles, though common failure points include tyres, coil springs, and windscreen washers.
