The BMW I3 HATCHBACK (2013-18) is a distinctive small electric hatchback aimed at urban driving rather than being an all-purpose family car. In the UK used-car market, it offers a premium, forward-looking alternative to conventional city cars and compact hatchbacks. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 5,628 checks covering 2,239 different VINs, giving buyers a substantial pool of vehicle history data to draw on. Typically, the i3 suits commuters, city residents and small households who can charge at home or work, and it can make a handy second car. Check data shows an average recorded mileage of 55,000 miles and around 7,000 miles driven yearly, consistent with relatively modest use. The average private-sale valuation is £10,300, while cars have had about two previous keepers. Its airy cabin, bold styling and brisk, quiet electric drive help it stand apart from rivals such as the Nissan Leaf, though buyers should check battery range suits their journeys.
