Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
The primary point for negotiation is the braking system; the December 2025 MOT recorded that all four brake discs are worn, pitted, or scored. You should budget for the replacement of these discs to ensure optimal safety and performance. Check the service records for any evidence of battery health checks or software updates specific to the i3's electric drivetrain.
Given the very low annual mileage, check the age of the tyres. Even if they have plenty of tread, tyres on low-mileage electric vehicles can perish over time, and tyres are listed as a top failure reason for this model across aggregate data. Ensure all charging cables and the onboard charger are present and functioning correctly.
As a hybrid electric vehicle, this i3 offers very low fuel costs and falls into a favorable road tax bracket. Maintenance costs are generally lower than traditional internal combustion engines due to fewer moving parts, although specialized electric vehicle technicians may be required for major repairs.
Typical annual costs will be dominated by insurance and electricity. Depending on your insurance group and charging method (home vs public), the overall cost of ownership remains competitive for a premium city car.
Prioritize an inspection of the brake discs. The MOT history shows a recurring issue with the nearside rear disc starting in 2022, culminating in all four discs being flagged as worn or pitted in December 2025. This is common in EVs due to regenerative braking reducing traditional brake usage, leading to corrosion.
Additionally, check the coil springs and the windscreen washer system, as these are identified as common failure points for the BMW i3 in aggregate model data. Finally, inspect the bodywork for any chips or scratches that may have occurred during its time in urban environments.
This white 2017 BMW i3 has covered 26,901 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average. It has passed all five of its recorded MOT tests, though the most recent test in December 2025 flagged wear and corrosion across all four brake discs. The vehicle's history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests with minimal issues until the most recent inspection.
The BMW i3 is generally reliable, with an average MOT pass rate of 90.1% across 26,869 analysed vehicles.
