2004 BMW X3 2.5L Petrol · SK54 ABJ

The 2004 BMW X3 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-07-01 assessment at 165,483 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or failures over this period suggests the vehicle has been well-kept, with no recurring faults requiring urgent attention. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for the vehicle’s age, averaging approximately 7,522 miles annually. The MOT records show steady increases, with no prolonged gaps between tests. From 152,445 miles in 2021 to 165,483 miles in 2025, the car has accumulated 13,038 miles over four years, reflecting regular operation rather than excessive wear. This pattern suggests the owner prioritized compliance and maintenance, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into specific component conditions. A buyer should prioritize inspecting age-related wear on suspension components, such as worn bushes or coil springs, which are common in 22-year-old vehicles. The exhaust system and brake discs may also require scrutiny for corrosion or thinning, as these parts degrade over time. While no structural rust or critical faults were flagged in the MOT history, a thorough underbody check and brake system evaluation are advisable to confirm the car’s continued safety and reliability.
