Hello Dave,

Thank you for that, it's really helpful, it wouldn't have crossed my mind to do a slow test, I'd normally be shooting off somewhere! Unfortunately I've bought with the heart instead of the head in the past and it's lead to some big garage bills, so thanks again.

Hello,

I'm looking at buying a secondhand X1 because from everything I've read about them they seem to be really reliable cars. I've got a limited budget and so I've been looking at 2012's. 

I'm not to most mechanically minded, so what I was was wondering is there anything obvious I should be looking out for that I should avoid? The milage seems to be around 100k on these too, how high is too high for a car this age?

Thank you - David
