Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for city driving, pr
When inspecting this specific i3, focus on the braking system. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of brake discs being 'worn, pitted or scored' in both 2025 and 2026. You should negotiate the price based on the likely cost of replacing the front and rear discs and pads soon.
Additionally, check the suspension components. The 2026 MOT noted wear on both nearside and offside front Macpherson strut pins/bushes. While these did not result in a failure, they are wear items that will eventually require attention. Ensure you ask for any documentation regarding recent suspension or brake work to see if these advisories have already been addressed.
As a hybrid electric vehicle, the i3 is designed for efficiency, particularly in urban environments. Being Euro 6 compliant, it is suitable for Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ) without additional charges.
Maintenance costs for this model can be higher than standard petrol cars due to specialized components, but the low mileage suggests less frequent mechanical wear. Expect typical running costs to be influenced by your electricity/fuel mix and insurance group, which varies by driver profile.
Specifically inspect the brake discs for deep scoring or heavy pitting, as this has been a consistent advisory in the last two MOT tests. It is also wise to check for any knocking or clunking sounds from the front suspension when driving over bumps, which could indicate the strut pin/bush wear noted in the May 2026 test.
Given the vehicle's age and the 2026 MOT findings, check the condition of the tyres and windscreen washer system, as these are common failure points for this model type according to aggregate data.
This 2018 blue BMW i3 has covered 35,827 miles, which is significantly lower than the model's average annual mileage of 6,372. While the most recent MOT in May 2026 passed, it highlighted several advisories regarding brake discs and Macpherson strut pins. The vehicle has maintained a clean record with no defects recorded between 2022 and 2024.
The BMW i3 shows a high average MOT pass rate of 90.0% across the fleet, though common failures include tyres, coil springs, and windscreen washer issues.
