Our Verdict
A fair example of a silver BMW X1, but p
Focus your negotiation on the immediate need for new front brake pads and rear tyres, as highlighted in the September 2026 MOT. Ensure you verify the service history to see if these wear-and-tear items are replaced as part of a regular maintenance schedule or only when they fail MOT tests.
Check for a comprehensive service record, specifically looking for oil and filter changes for the 1.499cc petrol engine. Given the mileage is above average for this model, evidence of preventative maintenance is more critical than on a lower-mileage example.
As a 1.5L petrol model, this X1 offers a balance between performance and efficiency, though fuel costs will be higher than diesel alternatives. Insurance groups for the X1 are generally moderate, but you should check your specific quote for this 2018 silver model.
Maintenance costs are typical for a premium German brand. Based on the MOT history, you should budget for frequent tyre and brake replacements, which appear to be the primary recurring costs for this specific vehicle.
Pay close attention to the braking system; the vehicle failed its 2025 MOT on rear pads and now has advisories for the front pads. Inspect the rear tyres specifically for the "damaged/cracking or perishing" mentioned in the 2026 report to determine if they need immediate replacement.
Additionally, check the coil springs and the engine management light functionality, as these are listed as top failure reasons across the wider X1 population. A visual check of the tyre tread across all four corners is recommended given the 2024 advisory for worn front tyres.
This 2018 1.5L petrol X1 has covered 78,211 miles, which is above the model's average annual mileage. While it has a consistent MOT record, there are recurring themes of brake and tyre wear, including a failure in 2025 for rear brake pads. The most recent test in September 2026 has left the vehicle with advisories for both front brake pads and rear tyres.
The X1 has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 87.4%, with common issues typically centering on tyres and coil springs.
