2016 BMW X12.0L Diesel

The December 2025 MOT at 95,879 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has been stable since the previous test. No new faults have emerged since the 2023 assessment. The mileage profile shows a steady increase of roughly 9,500 miles per year over the ten‑year life of the 2016 model, which aligns with typical usage for its age. However, the interval between the January 2023 test at 66,846 miles and the December 2023 test at 74,107 miles added 7,261 miles in eleven months, and the jump from 84,098 miles in December 2024 to 95,879 miles in December 2025 represents an 11,781‑mile rise in a single year, suggesting periods of higher usage or extended standing. Recurring issues flagged in earlier tests include wear on the front lower suspension arm pins and bushes (5.3.4 (a) (i)) and slight deterioration of the rear bushes, as well as tyre wear on the inner and outer edges and perishing of the rear tyres (5.2.3 (d) (ii)). The 2020 test noted front brake disc wear, and the 2024 test was limited by covers and shields, preventing full inspection of those components. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front and rear suspension bushes and arm pins, verify tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, examine the front brake disc for excessive wear, and look for any structural rust or damage behind the protective shields that may have concealed defects during the 2024 inspection.
