Our Verdict
A solid choice for those seeking a compa
Focus your attention on the tyres and braking system. The MOT history shows a persistent pattern of tyre issues, including structural bulges in 2023, wear in 2025, and a nail in 2026, so check the current tread and sidewall integrity thoroughly. Given the June 2026 advisory on brake disc fluctuation, ask for evidence of recent brake servicing or consider negotiating the cost of new front discs.
Ensure the service history is comprehensive and supports the mileage, as this vehicle has been driven more than the average 1 Series. Verify that the windscreen washer system is fully operational, as this was a point of failure in 2023.
The 1.5L petrol engine is Euro 6 compliant, ensuring it meets current emissions standards for ULEZ and other clean air zones. Insurance groups for the 1 Series are typically mid-range, and fuel economy is competitive for a premium hatchback of this size.
Maintenance costs will be typical for a BMW, with a particular focus on the cost of premium tyres and brake components. Annual costs will be influenced by the above-average mileage this vehicle has historically covered.
Inspect all four tyres carefully for bulges, cuts, or sidewall damage, mirroring the failure seen in 2023 and the advisory in 2025. During a test drive, pay close attention to the braking feel; any vibration or pulsing under deceleration would align with the June 2026 MOT note regarding fluctuating front discs.
Additionally, check the windscreen washer system to ensure the 2023 failure has not recurred. Finally, check for any items left in the driver's line of sight, which was noted as a concern during the 2023 MOT process.
This grey 2019 BMW 1 Series has covered 64,361 miles, which is above the model average. While it has passed most of its MOTs, it had one failure in 2023 related to tyre structure and washer fluid. Recent tests highlight ongoing tyre wear and a specific note regarding front brake disc fluctuation.
The 1 Series has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 84.2%, with tyres being one of the most common failure points across the model range.
