Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those seekin
When inspecting this specific i3, check the condition of the tyres. The most recent MOT failure in February 2026 was due to both nearside and offside rear tyres being below the 1.6mm legal limit, so ensure these were replaced with quality rubber rather than budget alternatives.
Given the mileage is higher than the aggregate average for this model, ask for any evidence of service history to ensure the high-voltage battery and electric drivetrain have been monitored according to BMW's recommendations. Check the integrity of the unique i3 bodywork and ensure the charging cables are present.
As an electric vehicle, running costs are primarily driven by electricity prices and insurance. The i3 is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group, making it suitable for various driver profiles.
Maintenance costs for this model tend to be lower than internal combustion engine equivalents due to fewer moving parts, though tyres can be a specific expense for this car due to its weight and torque. Expect annual running costs to be relatively predictable, provided charging is done at home or via low-cost providers.
Focus your inspection on the tyres. The MOT history shows a failure in February 2026 for both rear tyres having tread depths below 1.6mm. Verify that the current tread depth is well within legal limits and that the tyres show even wear, which can indicate suspension health.
While this vehicle has had no recent failures for headlamps or coil springs—two of the top failure reasons for this model—it is still worth checking that the lighting system is fully operational and that there are no unusual noises from the suspension when driving over bumps.
This 2019 white BMW i3 has covered 35,444 miles, which is above the model average of 6,391 miles per year. The MOT history is consistent, with four recorded tests and only one failure in February 2026 due to rear tyre tread depth. Aside from that specific issue, the vehicle has maintained a clean pass record.
The BMW i3 shows a high average MOT pass rate of 90.0% across the sample of 26,896 vehicles, with common issues typically involving tyres, headlamps, and coil springs.
