Our Verdict
Proceed with cautious optimism. This 201
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritise a thorough check of the rear differential area to ensure the oil leak noted in December 2024 has been professionally rectified and is not currently active. You should also verify that the braking system has been serviced recently, given the wear recorded on the front discs in 2023.
Ask the seller for documentation regarding the windscreen wipers and headlamp alignment issues that caused the 2023 MOT failure. While these are often quick fixes, confirming they were addressed provides peace of mind. Finally, because this car has covered significantly more than the average annual mileage for this model, check for signs of high-speed or motorway wear on the tyres and suspension components.
As a 1499cc petrol model, this BMW 1 Series is likely to sit in a moderate insurance group and offer reasonable fuel economy for a premium hatchback. Tax bands for this Euro 6 engine vary depending on specific CO2 emissions, so check the exact VED rate for this registration.
Maintenance costs for BMW products tend to be higher than for non-premium brands. Expect typical service intervals for a petrol engine, but budget for the potential replacement of premium components like brake discs and pads, which have appeared in the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs are roughly £1,200-£1,500 depending on your driving habits and insurance profile.
Specifically inspect the rear differential for any signs of fresh oil seepage, following the advisory recorded in December 2024. It is also prudent to check the condition of the front brake discs and pads, as the 2023 MOT history highlighted wear on both the nearside and offside front discs.
Additionally, test the windscreen wipers for effective clearing and ensure the headlamp aim is correctly calibrated, addressing the specific failures seen in the 2023 test. Given the mileage, check the tyre tread depth and condition, as tyres are the most common failure reason for this model type across our aggregate data.
This black 1.5L petrol BMW 1 Series has covered 52,277 miles since its first registration in June 2019. While the most recent MOT in January 2026 showed no defects, the vehicle's history includes a failure in late 2023 and an advisory for a rear differential oil leak in 2024. The mileage is higher than the model average of 7,292 per year, suggesting more intensive use.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 84.2% average MOT pass rate, with tyres being a frequent reason for failure.
