2016 BMW X5 3.0L Diesel · AE16 AHU

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, as the March 2024 MOT at 178,069 miles was passed without any recorded defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No failures or advisories were noted in the preceding January 2022 test at 174,882 miles. The mileage of 178,069 miles translates to roughly 17,807 miles per year for a 2016 model, a rate that exceeds typical usage for its age. The two‑year gap between the January 2022 test and the March 2024 test shows an increase of 3,187 miles, or about 1,593 miles annually, which reflects regular use rather than long periods of standing. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brakes show no binding or excessive disc wear, examine the condition of the brake discs and pads, and look for any signs of structural rust on the chassis, wheel arches and underbody, as these components are prone to deterioration on high‑mileage examples. Check tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and exhaust emission levels to complete a thorough assessment of the vehicle's mechanical health.
