2016 BMW X1 2.0L Petrol · DP16 AET

The BMW X1 passed its most recent MOT on 30 January 2026 at 56 412 miles with no recorded defects, confirming it is currently roadworthy. The maintenance trend is stable after a single failure in June 2021, when the nearside front outer tyre was worn to the legal limit and the offside rear inner tyre had a deep cut. The following day the vehicle was retested and passed, and every subsequent MOT from February 2022 through January 2026 has been a clean pass, indicating the issues were addressed and no new faults have emerged. Mileage progression shows low early usage: 10 734 miles by June 2019, 12 983 miles by June 2020, and 14 770 miles by June 2021. After February 2022 the rate increased markedly, reaching 26 909 miles in February 2023, 36 568 miles in February 2024, 45 573 miles in February 2025, and 56 412 miles in January 2026. The annual mileage rose from roughly 1 800–2 200 miles in the first three years to about 9 000–11 000 miles per year thereafter, yet the total remains modest for a 2016 model. A buyer should inspect the tyre condition closely, focusing on the front nearside outer and rear offside inner, which failed in 2021, and checking for sidewall damage noted in 2019. The wiper blades were recorded as worn in 2019 and should be replaced. Although the MOT history shows no brake or suspension faults, a hands‑on check of suspension bushes, coil springs, caliper operation, and brake disc condition is prudent given the vehicle’s age. Also examine chassis and exhaust mounts for corrosion or rust, as these components are not captured by MOT advisories but are vital for long‑term structural integrity.
