Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high annual
Given the high mileage, your first priority should be verifying the service history to ensure the hybrid battery system and engine have been maintained according to BMW's schedule. The 2024 MOT failure indicates that tyre maintenance may have been neglected, so you should check the current tread depth and condition of all four tyres immediately.
Negotiate on the basis of the high mileage and the recent MOT advisories. Ask for proof of any recent work done to address the windscreen damage or the undertray issue mentioned in the October 2025 test. Ensure the hybrid components have been inspected, as high-mileage plug-in hybrids require specific attention to their electrical systems.
As a 1.5L hybrid, this X1 is designed for efficiency, though fuel costs will depend heavily on how often the electric mode is utilised. Being a Euro 6 compliant vehicle, it is ULEZ/CAZ compliant, which helps avoid daily charges in many UK cities.
Insurance groups for the X1 Sport trim tend to be mid-range, but the 'xDrive' all-wheel-drive system may place it in a slightly higher bracket than two-wheel-drive counterparts. Expect maintenance costs to be higher than a standard petrol model due to the complexity of the hybrid drivetrain and the premium parts associated with the BMW brand.
Pay close attention to the tyres; the vehicle has a recorded history of failing MOTs due to multiple tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. Inspect the sidewalls and tread patterns for uneven wear, which could indicate suspension or alignment issues.
Check the condition of the nearside front windscreen and the undertray, as these were flagged in the October 2025 MOT. Additionally, because this is a high-mileage hybrid, inspect the charging port and cables for any signs of wear or damage, and ensure the hybrid system displays no error codes on the dashboard.
This 2021 BMW X1 XDRIVE25E Sport Auto has covered 95,092 miles in approximately five and a half years, which is significantly higher than the model average. The MOT history shows a pattern of maintenance issues regarding tyres, specifically a failure in late 2024 involving multiple worn tyres. While the most recent 2025 MOT passed, it noted an undertray issue and windscreen damage.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 89.4% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being tyres, suspension arms, and windscreen washers.
