Our Verdict
A potent 3.0L petrol 1 Series that prese
Focus your attention on the drivetrain and chassis. Specifically, ask for evidence that the differential oil leak noted in the January 2024 MOT was professionally addressed or if it has continued to seep. Given the high-performance 2998cc engine, verify the service history for regular oil changes and cooling system maintenance.
Negotiate based on the condition of the tyres; the MOT history shows failures or advisories for tyre wear in 2023, 2024, and 2026, which may indicate a need for a full four-wheel alignment or a set of premium replacements soon.
With a 3.0L petrol engine, fuel economy will be significantly lower than smaller 1 Series variants. This vehicle will sit in a higher insurance group and a higher road tax bracket due to its engine size and emissions.
Typical maintenance costs for this performance model are higher, particularly regarding the cost of high-grip tyres and specialized BMW parts. The estimated annual running cost is likely to be substantial compared to the model average.
Carefully inspect all four tyres for uneven wear or cuts, as the MOT history records issues with the nearside rear in 2023, both fronts in 2024, and both rears in 2026. Check the rear differential area for any signs of fresh oil residue, referencing the 'not excessive' leak recorded in 2024.
Additionally, check the headlamps for clarity and operation, as aggregate data for this model identifies headlamps as a top MOT failure reason. Ensure there are no warning lights on the dashboard relating to the engine or drivetrain.
This blue 2018 BMW 1 Series has covered 71,840 miles, which is slightly above the model average. Its MOT history shows a pattern of tyre-related issues and a recorded oil leak from the differential in January 2024. While it passed its most recent test in January 2026, the recurring tyre wear across multiple years suggests a need for careful inspection of alignment and rubber condition.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 84.2%, with tyres and headlamps being the most frequent points of failure.
