2020 BMW X5 XDRIVE45E Xline Auto 3.0L Hybrid electric · AF70 KPN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of neglected tyre management and alignment. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 32,807 miles passed, the tester flagged an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit with significant inner edge wear. This follows a failure in May 2025 where the vehicle was rejected for structural failure on a nearside rear tyre and cracking on the nearside front tyre. At six years old, this X5 xDrive45e has covered a relatively low distance, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap between the November 2023 test at 17,536 miles and the May 2025 test at 24,733 miles. This low-frequency usage often leads to the vehicle sitting for extended periods, which is likely the cause of the sidewall cracking and perishing observed on the nearside front tyre recorded during the 2025 failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the wheel geometry, as the inner edge wear noted on the offside rear tyre suggests a misalignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The recurring nature of tyre-related faults suggests the previous owners only addressed issues upon a MOT failure. Given the hybrid nature and low mileage, the buyer should also check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as these frequently occur when vehicles are not driven for long intervals.
