2015 BMW X1 2.0L Diesel · SO65 ESG

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 18 April 2026 at 125,383 miles with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the February 2025 test at 108,705 miles flagged a brake fluid warning lamp, a defective nearside rear position lamp, an offside rear exhaust mounting and a child seat that obstructed the adult belt inspection. Those faults contrast with the clean passes in March 2023 and February 2022, aside from a tyre wear advisory in the latter. The pattern suggests the issues noted in 2025 have been addressed, indicating a stable or improving maintenance trend since the last test. At 125,383 miles the car averages roughly 11,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical use for an eleven‑year‑old BMW X1. Mileage rose steadily from 50,417 miles in January 2022 to 70,510 miles by March 2023, then to 83,265 miles in February 2024. A sharper increase occurred between February 2025 and April 2026, adding 16,678 miles in about fourteen months, pushing the annual rate above the long‑term average for that interval. No large gaps exist in the test history; the intervals remain regular, showing consistent use rather than prolonged storage. Based on the recorded faults, a prospective buyer should verify the brake fluid level and check for any leaks or worn pads, as the warning lamp can indicate low fluid or sensor issues. Inspect the rear exhaust mountings for security and corrosion, and ensure all rear lighting functions correctly, especially the nearside position lamp. Examine the front tyres for tread depth and edge wear, and look for any windscreen chips that could expand, while confirming the headlamp lenses are free of residue that might reduce output. Finally, check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear, as high mileage can accelerate deterioration in those components even when no advisories have been raised.
