2013 BMW X1 2.0L Diesel · R24 PJD

The vehicle cleared its most recent MOT on 19 February 2026 at 93,167 miles, passing overall but with the tester flagging worn nearside and offside front inner suspension arm pins or bushes. No new safety‑critical defects have appeared since the 2022 brake‑pad warning, indicating a largely stable maintenance record despite the recurring suspension advisory. Across a 13‑year span the car has accumulated 93,167 miles, averaging roughly 7,200 miles per annum. Mileage rose from 16,447 miles in June 2016 to 27,820 miles in June 2017, then progressed in steady increments of 10‑12 k miles per year. The pattern shows no abrupt spikes or prolonged idle periods, suggesting consistent, moderate usage rather than periods of heavy abuse or neglect. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front suspension bush wear noted in both the 2023 and 2026 tests; visual inspection for excessive play or leaking grease is advisable. The nearside rear tyre was close to the legal tread limit in February 2023, so confirming current tyre depth and uniform wear is essential. Brake pads were reported thin in January 2022, so measuring pad thickness and checking for uneven disc wear will verify the braking system’s condition. Although headlamp aim failures occurred in 2016, the issue has not resurfaced, yet confirming proper headlamp alignment remains prudent. Finally, inspect the windscreen washer system for adequate fluid delivery and examine the undertray for corrosion, as these items have previously triggered advisories.
