Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- Gear Selector Spring FailureModerate
A small spring in the automatic selector breaks, so the car no longer recognises Park correctly and throws the familiar "Secure vehicle with parking brake" warning.
- Lower Control Arm Bush WearModerate
The front-heavy UKL platform wears its lower arm bushes and drop links on rough UK roads, leaving the X1 noisy and vague over bumps.
- EGR Cooler LeakSerious
BMW diesel recall work is crucial on F48 diesels because leaking coolant in the EGR system can create a fire risk and repeated coolant-loss complaints.
