Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 1998 model year cars.
- Rear arch, sill and floor corrosionSerious
X3 shells rust around the rear arches, sills, jacking points and floor seams, and neglected UK cars often hide patch repairs underneath underseal. Once the corrosion reaches structural areas the repair cost usually exceeds the car’s value.
- Cooling-system neglect leading to overheatingSerious
Older X3 petrols dislike years of cheap coolant changes and deferred maintenance. Radiators, thermostats and water pumps get ignored until the car overheats, after which head-gasket trouble or persistent coolant loss can follow.
- Rear wheel bearing and axle-bush wearModerate
X3 cars often develop noisy rear wheel bearings and tired rear axle bushes, which makes them feel loose over bumps and can trigger tyre wear or MOT play advisories.
