2018 BMW X12.0L Petrol

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a persistent issue with rubber-based component degradation. The most recent test in May 2026 at 14,156 miles passed despite the tester flagging all four tyres for signs of cracking and perishing. This is a recurring fault seen in 2021 and 2025, indicating that the tyres are failing due to age and oxidation rather than tread wear. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,770 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 7,658 miles and May 2026 at 14,156 miles, the car covered only 6,498 miles. This consistent low usage suggests minimal strain on the engine, drivetrain, and suspension. However, the long intervals between uses likely mean the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods, which is the direct cause of the deteriorating tyre sidewalls noted in the MOT records. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of all four tyres, as the record confirms they are reaching the end of their structural life despite having deep tread. Because the car sits infrequently, the brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or pitting, and the calipers should be tested for seizing due to lack of use. Additionally, the suspension bushes and seals should be inspected for cracking, as these components often suffer from age on low-mileage vehicles that are not driven regularly.
