Insight summary

BMW X2 is a rare model in this snapshot, with 8,460 represented vehicles and 0.02% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 87.0% from 39,313 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 52. The current pool shows an average of 44,438 miles and an average age of 5.7 years. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by diesel, and the most frequent defect themes are tyre condition, windscreen damage and lighting. The practical read is that the BMW X2 looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
