Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given that this vehicle has covered significantly more miles than the average i3, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres. Because tyres are a leading cause of MOT failure for this model, check for uneven wear or ageing. Ensure that all original charging cables are present and that the battery health has been verified through a BMW diagnostic check.
When reviewing the documentation, look for evidence of regular software updates and brake fluid changes, which are essential for electric vehicle maintenance. Negotiate based on the higher-than-average mileage compared to other 2022 models on the market.
As a fully electric vehicle, the i3 offers substantial savings on fuel compared to internal combustion engines. It currently benefits from zero VED (road tax), though buyers should be aware of upcoming UK tax changes for EVs. Insurance groups for the i3 are typically mid-range, making it relatively affordable to cover.
Maintenance costs are generally lower than petrol or diesel cars due to the absence of oil changes and fewer moving engine parts. However, the specialised tyres used by the i3 can be more expensive to replace than standard tyres. Total annual running costs are estimated to be low.
Inspect the tyres thoroughly for tread depth and side-wall integrity, as these are a top failure reason for the i3 across aggregate data. Check the headlamps for clarity and operation, and examine the suspension, specifically the coil springs, which are another common failure point for this model.
Perform a visual inspection of the blue exterior paintwork for any stone chips or scratches. Additionally, test the charging port and ensure the vehicle charges correctly and efficiently, as this is the most critical component of the vehicle's value.
This 2022 BMW i3 presents a clean record, having passed its last two MOT tests without any defects. While its mileage of 45,988 miles is notably higher than the model average of 6,391 miles per year, the lack of recorded failures suggests a consistent standard of operation. It represents a modern, low-emission option with a high aggregate reliability rating.
The BMW i3 is highly regarded for reliability, with an average MOT pass rate of 90% across 26,896 analysed vehicles.
