2018 BMW X4 2.0L Diesel · B5 CDS

A largely clean MOT record defines this 2018 BMW X4, with six consecutive passes and only a single advisory for front‑right tyre wear and an isolated washer‑fluid failure that was rectified before the next test. The most recent inspection on 14 July 2026 confirmed a pass with no defects, indicating that any issues identified in earlier years have not persisted or escalated. At 53,715 miles over roughly eight years the average annual mileage sits at about 6,700 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The yearly testing cadence shows no significant gaps, suggesting the odometer readings are consistent and there have been no periods of unusually high mileage accumulation that would accelerate wear on major drivetrain or suspension components. The tyre advisory recorded in July 2025 flagged the off‑side front inner tyre as approaching the legal limit and showing edge wear. Prospective buyers should inspect that tyre for tread depth, uniformity and any cupping that could indicate mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes. During a test drive, listen for a humming or thumping noise over bumps, feel for any pull to the right under steady throttle, and verify that the tyre pressure holds at the recommended level. If the tread is uneven, consider a professional wheel alignment and a visual check of the front suspension arms and bushings for any looseness or corrosion. The 2021 failure related to insufficient washer‑fluid delivery points to a possible leak, blocked nozzle or a weak pump. Verify that the washer system now supplies a steady spray to the windscreen when the lever is actuated, and check the reservoir for signs of leakage or low fluid levels. While on the road, observe the clarity of the windscreen after a wash and listen for any abnormal pump whine that could suggest wear. Addressing these minor items now will help ensure the vehicle remains compliant and safe for continued use.
