BMW X52018 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward reactive consumable replacement. The most recent test conducted in June 2025 at 71,494 miles passed but introduced advisories for both the nearside and offside rear tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This follows three consecutive clean tests between 2021 and 2024 where no defects were recorded. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for this age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between June 2021 at 26,142 miles and June 2025 at 71,494 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 45,000 miles at a steady rate. There is no evidence of long periods of stagnation that would lead to dry rot or seized components, nor is there a rapid accumulation of mileage that exceeds the standard 10,000 to 12,000 mile bracket between annual MOT intervals. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension geometry and alignment specifically, as the edge wear noted on the rear tyres suggests potential tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the age of the X5, a physical check of the coil springs and control arm bushings is necessary, as these components often degrade at this mileage bracket. While the history is clean of structural or mechanical failures, the recent tyre wear indicates that basic preventative maintenance might be deferred until the MOT test flagged the issue.
