Our Verdict
A solid purchase choice for those seeking a diesel compact SUV with a clean recent MOT record. The vehicle shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without major defects in recent years.
When inspecting this specific X1, focus on the diesel engine's performance and any signs of wear related to its higher-than-average mileage. Although the MOT history shows no defects since early 2024, you should request a detailed service history to see if the 2.0L engine has received regular oil changes, which is critical for this BMW powerplant.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at nearly 79,000 miles, it has exceeded the typical annual average for this model type. Check the condition of the tyres and suspension components, as these are common failure points for the X1 model according to aggregate data. Ensure the recent 2024 failure (which occurred at 54,886 miles) was fully rectified and not just a minor advisory that was cleared.
As a 1995cc diesel, this X1 is likely to offer decent fuel economy on long motorway trips, though costs will depend on driving style. Tax and insurance will vary based on the specific trim level and the buyer's profile, but the 2.0L engine typically sits in a mid-range insurance group.
Maintenance costs for a BMW of this age and mileage should be budgeted for, particularly for items like brake pads, discs, and potentially suspension components like coil springs, which are noted as common failure reasons for this model. Expect annual running costs to be moderate, reflecting its premium positioning.
Given the model aggregate data, pay close attention to the coil springs and tyres. While this specific vehicle has had no defects recorded in its most recent three MOT tests, these are the most frequent reasons for failure in the wider X1 population.
Check for any signs of engine management light issues, as 'engine mil inoperative' is a top failure reason for this model. Additionally, inspect the underside for any signs of wear that might suggest upcoming suspension maintenance, given the vehicle has covered 78,948 miles.
This 2018 grey BMW X1 (SB67FAJ) has covered 78,948 miles as of its last MOT in February 2026. While it shows higher-than-average mileage compared to the model aggregate of 7,667 miles per year, the recent history is notable for having no defects recorded in its last three annual tests. The vehicle's diesel 2.0L engine has been tested annually since 2023, showing a stable pass rate.
The BMW X1 shows an average MOT pass rate of 87.6% across the 110,298 vehicles analysed, with common issues involving coil springs and tyres.
