Our Verdict
Recommended. This vehicle has a consiste
Focus on the vehicle's service history to ensure oil changes were performed regularly despite the low annual mileage. Given the repeated advisories for stone chips in the windscreen from 2023 to 2025, check if these have been repaired or if they remain a concern.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres if they have not been replaced since the 2022 advisories regarding perishing and wear. Ensure all documentation for the 2.0L petrol engine's maintenance is present to justify the asking price.
As a 2.0L petrol model, fuel costs will be higher than diesel equivalents, particularly in urban environments. Insurance groups for the X1 are typically mid-range, though this varies by driver profile.
Maintenance costs for BMWs can be higher than budget brands, especially for genuine parts. Expected annual costs include road tax based on 2016 petrol emissions and standard BMW servicing intervals.
Carefully examine the central front windscreen for the stone chips noted in the 2023, 2024, and 2025 MOT tests. Check the tyres for any signs of perishing or cracking, as the 2022 test highlighted issues with both front and rear tyres, including a cut and worn outer edges.
Additionally, inspect the coil springs for signs of corrosion or failure, as these are identified as a common failure point across the wider BMW X1 aggregate data. Check that the engine management light is fully operational, as 'engine mil inoperative' is another common model failure.
This black 2016 BMW X1 has recorded 32,818 miles across five MOT tests, all of which resulted in a pass. The vehicle has seen very low usage, significantly below the average annual mileage for this model. While it has a clean most recent test, previous records indicate recurring minor issues with the windscreen and tyres.
The BMW X1 has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 87.4%, with common failures typically relating to tyres and coil springs.
