Our Verdict
A sensible option for urban driving, pro
When inspecting this specific i3, pay close attention to the condition of all four tyres. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of both nearside and offside tyres reaching the legal limit or wearing unevenly, specifically in 2022, 2023, and 2025. This may indicate a need for a wheel alignment check or suspension inspection.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent tyre replacements to see if the 2025 advisories were addressed. Given the vehicle's hybrid electric nature, ensure you verify the state of the high-voltage battery and check that any charging cables are present. Since the 2026 MOT passed with no defects, the vehicle appears to have been maintained sufficiently to meet legal standards recently.
As a 600cc hybrid electric vehicle, the i3 is designed for efficiency, particularly in stop-start city traffic. Tax bands for these models are generally low, and the insurance group typically sits in the mid-range for premium hatchbacks.
Maintenance costs for the i3 can be higher than a standard petrol car due to the specialized components of the electric drivetrain and the specific tyre requirements for lightweight electric vehicles. You should budget for regular inspections of the regenerative braking system and cooling systems. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £900-£1,200, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
The primary area for inspection is the tyre tread and wear pattern. The MOT history reveals a consistent trend of 'worn close to legal limit/worn on edge' across both front and rear axles in multiple years. Check for uneven wear which could suggest alignment issues.
Additionally, while not flagged in this vehicle's recent history, the model aggregate data suggests that headlamps and coil springs are common failure points for the BMW i3. It is worth checking the clarity of the headlamp lenses and listening for any knocks or rattles from the suspension during a test drive to ensure no issues are developing.
This 2018 blue BMW i3 has covered 68,806 miles since its first registration in July 2018. While the most recent MOT in June 2026 showed no defects, the vehicle has a history of advisory notices regarding tyre wear. The mileage is notably higher than the model average of 6,385 miles per year.
The BMW i3 shows a strong 90.0% average MOT pass rate across the dataset, with tyre, headlamp, and coil spring being the most frequent issues.
