Why Choose a Used BMW X1?
The BMW X1 stands out as a compact premium SUV, offering a blend of practicality, comfort and that all-important BMW driving experience. For families and city drivers alike, its raised driving position, spacious interior and smooth automatic gearbox make it a versatile choice. As a used buy, the X1 delivers strong value—especially when you can access full condition reports, MOT history and finance checks. All BMW X1s on SecondCar are ULEZ compliant, so you can drive into city centres without extra charges.
Current BMW X1s in Stock
Right now, there are 3 inspected BMW X1s available, all from model years 2016 to 2019. Prices currently range from £1,400 to £1,500, with average mileage around 70,367 miles. Each car is automatic and ULEZ compliant. Every listing includes a detailed inspection report, DVLA and MOT data, and a photo gallery, so you can review everything before you bid or buy. With both auction and Buy Now options, you can choose the route that suits you.
Running Costs, Insurance and Reliability
BMW X1s are known for reasonable running costs for a premium SUV. Insurance typically falls into groups 20–28, and servicing costs are manageable compared to larger BMWs. The X1’s diesel and petrol engines are robust, with most issues picked up in regular MOTs or flagged in inspection reports. All current stock is ULEZ compliant, making city driving less costly. When you buy through SecondCar, you get a full MOT history and inspection, plus a check for outstanding finance or previous write-off status.
What to Check Before You Bid
- Inspection Report: Review the downloadable report for condition grade and any advisories.
- MOT and DVLA Data: Check for recent advisories, mileage consistency and any past fails.
- HPI-style Checks: Confirm there’s no outstanding finance or insurance write-off history.
- Service History: Look for evidence of regular maintenance, especially for the automatic gearbox and timing chain.
- Tyres and Brakes: These are common wear items—see if they’re recently replaced or due soon.
Every BMW X1 on SecondCar comes with the above details as standard, so you can bid with confidence.
