Our Verdict
A solid consideration for those seeking a diesel SUV, provided the mileage is acceptable for your needs. The recent MOT history shows a clean record with no defects in the last two years.
When viewing this specific 2.0L diesel X1, check the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed at regular intervals, which is vital for this engine type. Given the mileage of 66,346, you should verify that any major service items required by the manufacturer have been addressed.
Negotiate based on the fact that the mileage is significantly higher than the statistical annual average for this model. Ask the seller for proof of recent maintenance, particularly regarding the diesel particulate filter (DPF), as high-mileage diesel engines can sometimes face issues if used primarily for short urban trips.
As a 1995cc diesel, this X1 is likely to offer efficient motorway cruising, though running costs will depend on your specific insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy should be competitive for a vehicle of this size.
Maintenance costs for BMW components can be higher than for non-premium brands. You should budget for typical diesel engine maintenance and potential wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes, which are common maintenance requirements for SUVs in this class.
Inspect the tyres and suspension components closely. While no recent defects have been recorded, aggregate data for this model shows coil springs and tyres as top reasons for MOT failures.
Check the engine's performance and listen for any unusual noises, as 'engine mil inoperative' is a known failure reason for the wider model group. Given the 2023 MOT failure, it is worth asking the seller if any specific repairs were carried out at that time to resolve the issue.
This 2020 BMW X1 (LS20NBG) is a diesel-powered model with 66,346 miles recorded at its last MOT in July 2025. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 7,667 per year, the vehicle has passed its last two annual inspections without any recorded defects. The history shows one failure in May 2023, though no specific defect details were recorded for that event.
Aggregate data from over 110,000 vehicles shows an 87.6% average MOT pass rate for this model, with common failures related to coil springs and tyres.
