Our Verdict
This is a strong used buy for an electric vehicle buyer, with a clean two-year MOT record and modest mileage for its age. The 2021 BMW i3 in blue (MT71FGG) shows no advisory or failure issues across both tests and is well worth considering if priced fairly.
As with any used electric car, insist on a full service history confirming BMW scheduled checks and any software updates for the battery management system. The i3 uses a carbon-fibre passenger cell with aluminium subframes, so confirm no accident damage has occurred despite the clean MOT record. Negotiate on the basis of remaining battery warranty (BMW offered 8 years or 100,000 miles from new, so this 2021 car should still be covered) and check the included charging cable specification.
As a pure electric vehicle, the i3 avoids road tax (VED) entirely and benefits from low 'fuel' costs versus petrol or diesel equivalents, with home charging typically far cheaper than public networks. Insurance group for the i3 is moderate for an EV but check a quote specifically for MT71FGG as colour and specification can affect premiums. Estimated annual running cost including electricity, insurance, and routine maintenance is around £600-£900, with maintenance generally lower than combustion cars due to fewer moving parts.
The MOT history shows no failures or advisories, so no specific test-failure items need follow-up, but physically inspect the 20-inch alloy wheels common on the i3 for kerb damage and the tyres for uneven wear given the rear-wheel-drive layout. Check the charging port for any signs of wear or heat damage from frequent rapid charging, and verify the digital dashboard displays no warning lights. Given the blue exterior, also examine paintwork on the lightweight panels for chips or repair mismatch.
The vehicle is a December 2021 registered BMW i3 finished in blue, powered by an electric drivetrain with no emissions. Its MOT history shows two consecutive passes with no defects recorded at 26,525 miles (January 2025) and 33,344 miles (January 2026). With just under 33k miles at around four and a half years old, the mileage is below typical averages for a car of this age. No aggregate model reliability data was available, but the individual history here is reassuring.
No aggregate MOT reliability data was available for the BMW i3, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual clean history.
