Our Verdict
This BMW X1 is a strong candidate for a buyer seeking a well-maintained, high-mileage diesel SUV. Its recent clean MOT record suggests the previous owner has been diligent with upkeep, making it a reliable choice if the service history supports the mileage.
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a thorough inspection of the service history, specifically looking for evidence of timing chain maintenance, which is a known consideration for the N47 engine found in this model. Ensure that the service intervals have been adhered to, as high-mileage diesels rely heavily on regular oil changes to maintain turbo and engine longevity.
Negotiate based on the inevitable wear and tear typical of a vehicle with over 124,000 miles. Check the interior for signs of heavy use and ensure all electrical features, such as the iDrive system and climate control, are fully operational, as these can be costly to repair if they fail.
As a 2.0-litre diesel, this X1 offers respectable fuel economy for its class, particularly on motorway journeys. However, buyers should be aware that road tax and insurance premiums for a vehicle of this age and engine size will fall into the mid-range bracket.
Maintenance costs for a premium brand like BMW can be higher than mass-market alternatives, especially when sourcing genuine parts. You should budget for periodic suspension and tyre replacement, as these are common wear items for the X1 platform. Expect an estimated annual running cost in the region of £1,600-£2,000, factoring in fuel, insurance, and routine servicing.
While the last two MOTs were clean, the 2023 history noted inner tyre wear on the front axle. This can often indicate issues with wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes, so check the current tyres for even tread depth and inspect the suspension arms for any play or knocking sounds during a test drive.
Given the age and mileage, perform a cold start to listen for any rattling from the engine bay, which could indicate timing chain concerns. Additionally, inspect the bodywork for any signs of rust or poorly repaired accident damage, and ensure that the registration plates are currently compliant, given the minor failure recorded in 2022.
Registered in December 2013, this black 2.0-litre diesel X1 has covered 124,221 miles, which is significantly above the average for its age. Despite the high mileage, the vehicle has shown excellent resilience in recent MOT tests, securing two consecutive clean passes. It represents a solid value proposition for those who prioritise mechanical maintenance over low odometer readings.
The BMW X1 generally performs well in MOT tests, though owners should remain vigilant regarding suspension arm and tyre wear, which are common failure points across the model range.
