2017 BMW X1 2.0L Petrol · GF17 EWL

The 2026‑02‑27 MOT at 94,518 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy. The previous failure on 2025‑02‑24, where the near‑side front shock absorber showed a serious fluid leak, was followed by a pass on 2025‑02‑26 and another clean result in February 2026, indicating that the repair was successful and the maintenance record is now stable. Mileage has climbed from 50,719 miles in March 2020 to 94,518 miles by July 2026, averaging just over 10,500 miles per year, which is typical for a nine‑year‑old model. The interval between the December 2023 test at 83,159 miles and the February 2025 test at 89,803 miles shows a 6,644‑mile increase, but no prolonged periods of low usage are evident, and the overall progression remains steady. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension components, especially the rear near‑side shock absorber that required attention in early 2025, and verify that any replacement was carried out to the required standard. Examination of the brake system is advisable, given the thin pad wear noted in 2022, while tyre condition must be checked for the repeated advisories on near and off side wear close to the legal limit. Finally, a visual assessment of structural integrity, rust, and exhaust emissions should be performed to ensure no hidden defects have emerged since the last test.
