Our Verdict
A recommended purchase provided the buye
The primary point for negotiation is the tyre condition. The June 2026 MOT flagged all four tyres as being worn close to the legal limit, and the 2025 test noted cracking and perishing on the front pair. You should verify if these have been replaced since June 2026; if not, a full set of replacements will be an immediate cost.
As an electric vehicle, the i3 offers significant savings on fuel and road tax compared to internal combustion alternatives. Insurance costs will depend on the driver's profile, but the i3 generally sits in a moderate insurance group.
Maintenance is typically lower than petrol or diesel cars, though specific i3 tyre sizes can be more expensive to replace. Annual running costs, including electricity, insurance, and routine servicing, are estimated to be relatively low.
Carefully inspect all four tyres for tread depth and signs of perishing, as these have been recurring advisories in 2025 and 2026. Check the front brake discs for pitting or scoring, which was noted as a defect in the April 2025 test.
Additionally, check the nearside rear of the vehicle for the missing jacking point mentioned in the 2024 MOT to ensure there is no associated structural damage. As with any used EV, check the charging cable and onboard charger functionality.
This blue 2018 BMW i3 has recorded five MOT tests since 2022, all of which resulted in passes. With 57,084 miles on the odometer, the vehicle has been used slightly more than the model average. The record shows a consistent pattern of tyre-related advisories and a specific note regarding brake disc wear.
The BMW i3 has a strong reliability reputation, supported by an average MOT pass rate of 90.0% across nearly 27,000 analysed vehicles.
