2014 BMW X5 3.0L Diesel · A16 TBK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 7 January 2026 at 77,381 miles. The overall maintenance trend is stable, though the record reveals a recurring pattern of negligence regarding tyre maintenance. The latest test flagged all four tyres as worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, mirroring an identical set of advisories from the 6 January 2023 test at 55,653 miles. The mileage is typical for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,448 miles per year. Use has been consistent, though there was a notable increase in annual distance between 2023 and 2026. The car covered 21,628 miles in the three years leading up to the most recent test, compared to a much lower accumulation of 14,839 miles between 2017 and 2019. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyre treads and alignment. The fact that the tester flagged edge wear on all four tyres in both 2023 and 2026 suggests a potential issue with wheel alignment or a tendency by the previous owner to defer basic consumable replacement until the point of inspection. The rest of the MOT history is exceptionally clean. No failures or advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion appear between 2017 and 2026. This lack of mechanical defects over nine years indicates a vehicle that has avoided major structural degradation and significant component failure.
