2017 BMW X5 3.0L Diesel · 11 UXD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 at 97,341 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, as the recurring tyre issues identified in previous years appear to be addressed. While the most recent test is clean, the history indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive replacement of consumable components between inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,800 miles per year. There was a significant jump of 11,649 miles recorded between February 2023 and February 2024, followed by another 11,653 miles between February 2024 and March 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly for longer-distance driving, which places predictable stress on the complex suspension and drivetrain components of a heavy SUV like the X5. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment due to the persistent history of uneven tyre wear noted in 2022, 2024, and 2025. The repeated flagging of tyres worn on both inner and outer edges suggests underlying issues with worn control arm bushes, ball joints, or camber that have not been fully rectified. Additionally, given that the 2022 test noted rear brake pads at 75% wear, the current state of the discs and pads should be verified to ensure the absence of an advisory in the latest test does not mask a lack of recent service.
