What you get, before you pay for it
This is a complete Full Check, exactly as it appears when you run one — the same score, the same recommendation, the same findings, laid out the same way. We've used a vehicle with something on its record, because a clean example wouldn't show you much.
Before you buy
What this report tells you
This X1 has a consistent MOT record and mileage that only ever rises — about 11,000 miles a year, which is normal use. The finding that matters is the insurance write-off: it was recorded as Category N, meaning an insurer decided repair cost more than the car was worth, but the damage was not structural. That is legal to drive and legal to sell, and it typically reduces resale value by 20-40%. Ask the seller what was damaged, who repaired it, and for the paperwork — then check the asking price against a car with no write-off on record. No outstanding finance and no stolen marker were found.
A plain-English guide to the findings below, written by AI from this report's own data. It can occasionally get something wrong — always check the detail yourself before relying on it.

Running cost signals
General patterns from this vehicle's own specification — not a calculated cost. Get an actual insurance quote and check the current tax rate on gov.uk before you buy.
- CO2 emissions
- 144 g/km
- Emissions standard
- Euro 6
- Engine size
- 1.5L
A mid-range figure — check the current VED band on gov.uk for the exact annual cost.
Usually compliant with ULEZ and other low-emission zones — confirm with the specific zone before relying on it.
Smaller engines are typically cheaper to insure, though the model, driver and provider matter more than size alone.
