Our Verdict
A solid option for city driving, provide
When inspecting this specific i3, your primary focus should be on the tyres. The 2025 MOT recorded cracking and perishing on three different tyres, and the 2023 test saw a failure due to cuts reaching the cords. Ensure that all four tyres are relatively new and show no signs of sidewall cracking or uneven wear.
Beyond the tyres, check the charging cables and the integrity of the high-voltage battery connection points. While the MOT does not record battery health, the mileage of 37,144 is significant for an electric vehicle, so ask for any documentation regarding battery capacity or health checks if available.
As a hybrid electric vehicle with a small 600cc engine, the i3 is designed for efficiency. Running costs are generally lower than traditional petrol or diesel counterparts, particularly in urban environments.
Expect relatively low fuel costs if charging is done at home, though public charging rates will impact this. Maintenance costs for this model often revolve around tyres and suspension components, such as coil springs, which are noted as a common failure reason for this model type in aggregate data.
Specifically address the tyre history seen in the 2023 and 2025 MOT records. Look for any evidence of 'perishing' or 'cracking' on the sidewalls, which was a recurring advisory/failure theme for this vehicle.
Additionally, given that 'coil spring' is a top failure reason for this model aggregate, listen for any knocks or rattles when driving over bumps. Check the windscreen washer system as well, as this is another common MOT failure reason for the BMW i3 model group.
This 2018 blue BMW i3 has covered 37,144 miles, which is above the model average of 6,372 miles per year. While the MOT history shows some recent issues with tyre condition, the most recent test in February 2026 passed with no defects. The vehicle's mileage suggests it has been used more frequently than the typical example in this dataset.
The BMW i3 shows a high average MOT pass rate of 90.0%, though tyres and coil springs are frequent points of failure across the model range.
