Our Verdict
This BMW X5 represents a solid purchase option with a relatively clean recent history. While it experienced a single MOT failure in late 2024, the subsequent passing tests suggest any immediate issues were addressed.
When inspecting this 2.9L diesel X5, focus on the service history to ensure the high mileage (relative to the model average) has been matched by regular maintenance. Given the large engine size and vehicle weight, check for evidence of recent brake and tyre replacements, as these are common failure points for this model type.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the vehicle has a clean recent MOT record, it has been driven much more extensively than the typical X5 in our database. Ensure you verify that the 2024 MOT failure was rectified before the passing test just a few days later.
As a 2993cc diesel, this X5 will sit in a higher tax and insurance bracket compared to smaller SUVs. Fuel economy will depend on driving style, but expect typical diesel SUV consumption figures for a vehicle of this weight.
Maintenance costs for a premium BMW can be substantial, particularly for tyres and braking components. Given the mileage is well above the 8,056-mile annual average, you should budget for more frequent component replacements than a lower-mileage example.
Pay close attention to the lighting systems and tyres, as these are the top failure reasons identified in our aggregate data for this model. Although this specific vehicle had no defects recorded in its most recent 2025 test, checking the condition of the headlamps and tread depth is essential.
Additionally, inspect the brake discs and pads. The 2024 MOT history shows a failure occurred at 49,546 miles; while no specific defect was listed in the summary, it is prudent to check the current thickness of the discs to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life.
This 2018 grey BMW X5 has covered 56,260 miles over its eight-year lifespan, which is significantly higher than the model average of 8,056 miles per year. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, including one failure in September 2024 at 49,546 miles. Since that failure, the vehicle has secured two consecutive passes with no defects recorded.
Aggregate data from nearly 100,000 vehicles shows an 84.5% average MOT pass rate for this model, with common issues relating to headlamps, tyres, and brake discs.
