2018 BMW X12.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection in September 2025 at 85,725 miles, which returned a clean pass with no recorded defects. This follows a period of recurring advisories that suggest a history of deferred maintenance. While the vehicle is currently compliant, the record shows a clear trend of addressing minor consumables only when they approach failure limits. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,716 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 77,074 miles in August 2021 to 85,725 miles in September 2025. This consistent annual increase indicates regular road use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which helps mitigate the risk of seized components or perished rubber seals. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the suspension system. The records show a persistent issue with the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm bushes, which were flagged as worn in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Although these were passed as advisories in later tests, the recurring nature of this fault suggests the bushings have been nearing their wear limit for several years. A physical inspection of the front end to check for excessive play or clunking sounds is necessary. The brake history also warrants scrutiny. The tester flagged pitted or scored front and rear brake discs in 2021 and 2022. While the 2025 test was clear, the previous pattern of disc wear and the history of windscreen washer and seatbelt issues suggest a maintenance approach focused on passing the minimum requirements rather than proactive servicing. A thorough check of the braking system and all suspension bushings is advised to ensure no further degradation has occurred.
