Our Verdict
A solid consideration for those seeking
When inspecting this specific 2ft diesel X1, pay close attention to the tyre condition. The 2023 MOT record indicated multiple tyres worn close to the legal limit with uneven edge wear, so ensure the current set has ample tread and that the suspension/alignment is correct.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent brake servicing, as the 2023 test specifically flagged thin front brake pads. Given the 1995cc engine size, check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay, though no such issues have been flagged in the recent MOT history.
As a 2.0L diesel, this X1 is geared towards higher annual mileages, though its recorded mileage is higher than the model average of 7,701 per year. Expect moderate fuel economy suitable for motorway driving.
Maintenance costs for BMW components can be higher than for mainstream brands. You should budget for regular servicing and potential replacements of consumables like tyres and brakes, which have appeared in the vehicle's history. Estimated annual running costs typically fall between £1,200-£1,600 depending on insurance and fuel usage.
Focus your inspection on the wheel arches and tyres. The 2023 MOT history noted nearside front and offside front tyres being worn on the edges, alongside nearside rear tyre issues. This can sometimes indicate alignment problems or suspension wear.
Additionally, check the braking system. The 2023 record noted thin front brake pads. While the 2024 and 2025 tests passed with no defects, verifying the remaining life of the pads and discs is a prudent step for a buyer.
This 2016 white BMW X1 has covered 75,626 miles since its first registration in March 2016. The MOT history shows a pattern of passing, with the most recent three tests recording no defects. While a 2023 test highlighted several tyre and brake pad issues, the vehicle has cleared these in subsequent inspections.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 87.4% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including tyres, coil springs, and engine MIL issues.
