BMW 2 Series Active Tourer used car market review

The first generation of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, produced between 2014 and 2021, is noted for being more affordable on the used car market compared to new models. While the vehicle offers a sporty design and high-quality interior, potential buyers should be aware of specific maintenance and inspection trends.

According to TÜV report analyses, the Active Tourer performs reasonably well in main inspections, but from the second inspection onwards, it falls below the segment average in the categories of “without defects” and “significant defects.” Common issues include failures in emissions tests and the failure to replace prescribed gas springs on the active hood. Additionally, buyers are advised to check the steering joints on older models.

Technically, the vehicle utilizes a front-wheel-drive platform shared with the second-generation BMW X1 and the Mini Countryman. The model offers good interior space, with some versions featuring a rear seat that can be shifted longitudinally by 13 centimeters. A longer version, the Gran Tourer, is also available, which can accommodate more than five passengers with an optional third row of seats.
