Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution due to exceptionally high mileage for the age. While the vehicle has passed its MOTs, the rapid mileage increase suggests heavy use and potential impending expensive mechanical repairs.
The primary concern here is the mileage; at over 164,000 miles, you must verify that the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, as this is typically required every 80,000-100,000 miles. Ask for a full service history to ensure the engine has been maintained according to BMW specifications. High-mileage diesel engines can be sensitive to turbo and fuel injector systems.
Negotiate the price based on the obvious wear-related items. The 2025 MOT noted worn suspension bushes and thin brake pads, which suggests the next owner will face immediate maintenance costs soon. Check if the tyres have been replaced recently, as the MOT history shows a recurring issue with tyres worn on edges, which could indicate an alignment problem.
The 2.0-litre diesel engine is relatively efficient for long journeys, likely achieving 45-55 mpg if driven sensibly. However, vehicle tax and insurance for a BMW X1 can be higher than a standard hatchback, depending on the specific insurance group and your personal bracket.
Maintenance costs will be higher than average due to the high mileage; you should expect more frequent replacements of consumables like shocks, suspension components, and brake discs. Estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance, is approximately £2,200-£2,800.
Pay close attention to the front suspension; the 2025 MOT advisory mentioned worn rod bushes, which can lead to clunking noises when driving over bumps. Check the steering alignment, as multiple MOT advisories noted tyres worn on the edges, suggesting the car may not be tracking correctly.
Under the hood, look for signs of oil leaks, which are common on high-mileage BMW engines. Given the 164,534-mile reading, perform a test drive to listen for any turbo whistling or rough idling, which could indicate the turbocharger has developed play at such high mileage.
This 2017 BMW X1 is a 2.0L diesel that has covered over 164,000 miles in just over nine years, which is significantly higher than the average for this model. Although it maintains a passing MOT, the history shows a pattern of wear and tear on suspension, brakes, and tyres, indicating the car is nearing the end of many major component life cycles.
The BMW X1 is generally considered robust, but high-mileage examples often suffer from expensive component failures after 150,000 miles.
