Model-specific DVSA data not separately available; figure shown is BMW's overall brand average for context.

What to know

DVSA doesn't publish an X1-specific figure in the data used across this site, so BMW's overall brand average of 79.3% is shown for context instead.

The X1 is also sold as a fully electric iX1, worth checking specifically which powertrain a used example has, since running costs and the relevant compliance for green zones and ULEZ differ meaningfully between the combustion and electric versions.

Check a specific X1's MOT history, tax status, and advisories by registration number.
