2010 BMW X1 2.0L Diesel · RE10 MZN

The latest MOT on 08 Aug 2022 passed with a few minor notes: a chip in the windscreen, undertrays fitted, and the engine oil level at the minimum mark. No new suspension or tyre problems were recorded, but the vehicle still carries the earlier ball‑joint wear that caused a failure in 16 Aug 2021. That failure was followed by a pass in 19 Aug 2021 where the ball joint had only slight play, suggesting the issue was addressed or at least not yet critical. The windscreen has been damaged for several years but never affects the driver’s view, and the tyre damage noted in 2021 is no longer listed, implying replacement or repair. An oil leak was mentioned in 2019 and 2020 but was not excessive; the only new note in 2022 is the low oil level, which may indicate normal consumption or a minor leak. Overall, the vehicle’s MOT record shows a stable trend: the major suspension fault was fixed, tyre and windscreen issues have been managed, and no new serious defects have appeared. The mileage of 131,299 over 16 years is average for a 2010 model, so wear on consumables and the drivetrain is expected but not excessive. A buyer should first check the rear upper ball joint and other suspension components for play, confirm the tyre condition and tread depth, inspect the windscreen for cracks that could worsen, verify the oil level and look for any new leaks, and ensure the undertrays are not causing drainage problems. These checks will confirm that the recent repairs have held and that the car is in a reasonable condition for its age and mileage.
