Our Verdict
This is a strongly recommended used EV purchase for the right buyer, with a clean MOT record and low mileage for its age. The only caution is minor tyre perishing noted in 2024, which is easily addressed and has not recurred.
Given the clean MOT history, focus your negotiation on the battery health and remaining BMW warranty position, as electric vehicles of this age can show capacity loss that is not captured in MOT tests. Request the full service history to confirm scheduled checks were completed, and verify the charging cable and onboard charger function correctly before purchase.
The 2024 MOT noted front and rear tyres with slight cracking or perishing on both sides, so confirm these were replaced afterwards as the 2025 and 2026 tests recorded no defects. As no model aggregate data is available, rely on the individual history and a professional inspection to validate condition rather than assumed model trends.
As a pure electric vehicle, LE19LJY benefits from zero road tax and low 'fuel' costs compared to petrol or diesel equivalents, with home charging typically far cheaper than public networks. Insurance group details are not provided in the data, but EV premiums for a 2019 i3 are generally moderate for the class.
Maintenance on electric cars is reduced due to fewer moving parts, though tyre and brake wear still apply; the noted 2024 perishing suggests budget for a set of tyres if not already renewed. Estimated annual running cost including electricity, insurance, and routine maintenance is approximately £600-£900.
The 2024 MOT recorded front and rear tyre slight cracking or perishing on nearside and offside (5.2.3 (d) (ii)), so physically inspect all four tyres for sidewall condition and confirm replacement if the later clean tests relied on new rubber. Check the 19,339-mile odometer against service stamps to validate the low annual usage of roughly 2,400 miles per year.
As an electric BMW, inspect the charging port for damage, test the 12V auxiliary battery, and use a diagnostic tool to read high-voltage battery state of health since this is not covered by MOT. No other defects were recorded across the five tests, indicating no structural or braking concerns in the official history.
LE19LJY is a blue 2019 BMW i3 electric vehicle first registered in August 2019 with 19,339 miles recorded at its most recent MOT in May 2026. Across five MOT tests it has never failed, with only minor tyre cracking flagged at the 2024 test which passed without issue. With no aggregate model reliability data available, the individual history shows consistent low usage and well-maintained condition.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the BMW i3, so assessment relies solely on this vehicle's individual test history which shows no failures.
