If you own or are considering buying a 2020 BMW X1 Xdrive25e Xline Auto, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall.

Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment — 2.2% of failures

Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: £5–50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights.

Visibility — 0.7% of failures

Visibility issues account for 0.7% of MOT failures on 2020 BMW X1 Xdrive25e Xline Auto models. Visibility failures relate to the windscreen, wipers, washers, mirrors, and view-obstructing damage.

Pre-MOT check: Check the windscreen for chips and cracks — damage larger than 10mm in the driver's swept area or 40mm elsewhere will fail. Test washers and wipers. Ensure both door mirrors are intact and adjustable.
