My definition of "lightly" used is anything under 50k miles and under 5 years old.
My standards for reliability are also pretty warped by absurdly reliable Japanese cars I've owned in the past. My IS350 at 150k miles - when people would sit in it they thought they were sitting in a new car. I ended up getting rid of it because I was bored it it... the damn thing didn't need anything besides an oil change once a year despite a lifetime of spirted driving.

FWIW, the X1 you’re likely mentioning is NOT the X1 folks are recommending.
They’re recommending the E84 when they were RWD. Not the current Mini-based FWD version. Those will Be much cheaper than the new one, but much older.
