2012 BMW X1 2.0L Diesel · WN62 TXO

The most recent MOT passed in January 2026, but the report highlights several areas of wear that require attention, specifically regarding the front suspension and braking components. The vehicle's mileage of 105,255 is typical for its 14-year age, averaging roughly 7,500 miles per year. This suggests that the wear on consumables is consistent with normal, regular use rather than excessive heavy use or long periods of inactivity. There is a noticeable worsening trend in the vehicle's mechanical condition. While the car had a clean MOT in early 2023, subsequent tests show a recurring pattern of suspension-related issues. Problems with anti-roll bar ball joints and suspension arm bushes have appeared in every MOT since then. The most recent entry shows these issues are persisting, alongside new concerns regarding thinning brake pads and a severely deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage dust cover. A buyer should first inspect the front suspension thoroughly to ensure the bushes and ball joints have been properly replaced rather than just monitored. You must also check the remaining thickness of the brake pads and the condition of the tyres, as these have been recurring maintenance points in the recent history.
