Our Verdict
This 2018 BMW i3 Range Extender is a strong candidate for buyers seeking an electric vehicle with a clean recent MOT history. The consistent pass record over the last three years suggests that the vehicle has been presented for testing without recurring mechanical or safety defects.
When inspecting this i3, prioritise verifying the health of the Range Extender (REX) engine, as it is an additional mechanical system that requires its own maintenance schedule. Ensure you test the transition between electric-only mode and the petrol generator to confirm smooth operation.
Check for any evidence of tyre wear, as the i3 uses unique, narrow tyres that can be more expensive to replace than standard car tyres. Given the vehicle's mileage, request any available service records to confirm that the REX engine oil and filter have been changed in accordance with BMW's requirements, regardless of the clean MOT history.
As an electric vehicle, this i3 benefits from lower fuel costs compared to traditional petrol or diesel cars, provided you have access to home charging. The Range Extender variant offers peace of mind for longer journeys, though it does introduce the need for occasional petrol top-ups and engine maintenance.
Road tax for this vehicle is generally low, though you should verify the current VED status based on its registration date. Insurance groups for the i3 are typically higher than average due to its carbon fibre construction and specialist repair requirements, so obtain a quote before committing to the purchase.
While the last three MOT tests were clear of defects, you should still conduct a physical inspection of the suspension components and braking system. Electric vehicles use regenerative braking, which can lead to light surface corrosion on discs if the car has been parked for extended periods; check for any signs of pitting or uneven wear.
Inspect the charging port for any signs of damage or heat stress, and ensure the charging cables provided with the vehicle are in good condition. Because the i3 uses a carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) passenger cell, check the bodywork for any signs of structural impact or poor-quality repairs, as the material requires specialist attention.
Registered in November 2018, this grey BMW i3 Range Extender has covered 70,028 miles. Its MOT history is notable for three consecutive clean passes between 2022 and 2024, with no advisories recorded during these inspections. This performance aligns well with the model's aggregate MOT pass rate of 95.4%.
The BMW i3 maintains a strong reliability profile with an aggregate MOT pass rate of 95.4% among the vehicles analysed.
