Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for a buyer seeking a low-mileage hybrid. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, showing no defects across its recorded life.
When viewing this specific 600cc hybrid, prioritize checking the health of both the electric battery and the petrol range extender. While the MOT history is clear of mechanical defects, the MOT test does not assess the state of charge or the efficiency of the hybrid powertrain.
Request documentation regarding the battery's state of health (SOH) and ensure any software updates for the range extender have been carried out. Because this is a hybrid, also check that the transition between electric and petrol power is seamless during a test drive.
As a hybrid electric vehicle, running costs are influenced by your ability to charge frequently. The 600cc engine is designed for efficiency rather than performance, which helps keep fuel consumption relatively low when the battery is depleted.
Tax and insurance groups for the i3 vary depending on the specific trim level, but generally fall into mid-range categories. Expect maintenance costs to be influenced by specialized components, though the lack of MOT failures suggests no immediate remedial costs are evident from the records.
Inspect the charging port for any signs of damage or debris, and ensure the charging cables are present. Since the 2024 MOT recorded no defects at 44,821 miles, the vehicle's external condition and basic safety components like brakes and tyres appeared to meet standards at that time.
Pay close attention to the tyre tread and condition, as the i3's unique weight distribution can impact wear. Given the clean MOT history, focus your inspection on the hybrid-specific systems which are not covered by standard MOT testing.
This 2018 BMW i3 Range Extender in Grey has covered 44,821 miles since its first registration in November 2018. The MOT history shows two recorded tests, both passed without any defects or advisories. Compared to the model aggregate average annual mileage of 7,678, this vehicle's usage pattern appears consistent with typical hybrid ownership.
The BMW i3 model shows a high average MOT pass rate of 95.4% across 59 analysed vehicles.
