Our Verdict
This BMW X3 presents a relatively clean
When inspecting this specific 2.0L petrol X3, focus on the service history to ensure the timing chain and oil service intervals have been strictly adhered to, as MOT records do not confirm mechanical upkeep. Given the 2025 advisory for an offside rear tyre worn on the edge, you should check the current condition of all four tyres and ask if any wheel alignment or tracking work was performed to rectify that wear pattern.
Negotiate based on the current mileage and the age of the vehicle; while 70,297 miles is reasonable for a 2018 model, ensure the service book reflects regular inspections. Check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine, which can sometimes be an issue on these petrol units, though no such issues have appeared on the MOT certificates.
As a 1998cc petrol model, running costs will be moderate compared to smaller hatchbacks but typical for a premium SUV. You can expect reasonable fuel economy for its size, though real-world figures will depend on driving style and load.
Insurance groups for the X3 tend to be mid-to-high, so obtain a quote based on your specific profile. Maintenance costs for BMW components can be higher than for non-premium brands, particularly for tyres and brake components. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are approximately £1,800-£2,400.
Pay close attention to the tyres; the 2025 MOT record specifically highlighted an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This could indicate a previous alignment issue, so inspect the current tread depth and evenness across all tyres.
Beyond the MOT history, inspect the exterior black paintwork for any significant stone chips or scratches common on SUVs. Since the MOT history is largely clear of structural or suspension failures, focus your physical inspection on the interior electronics and the smoothness of the engine idle to ensure everything is functioning as expected.
This 2018 black BMW X3 has covered 70,297 miles over approximately eight years, which aligns closely with typical usage patterns. The MOT history shows four consecutive passes with only one recorded defect regarding a tyre in 2025. The most recent test in August 2026 showed no defects, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets basic safety requirements.
Aggregate data from over 100,000 vehicles shows an 84.4% MOT pass rate for this model, with common failures relating to coil springs and tyres.
