2016 BMW X3 3.0L Diesel · CK66 WEO

The 2025‑04‑25 MOT at 85,909 miles confirms the 2016 BMW X3 remains roadworthy, with the tester recording zero defects and no advisory notes, indicating a stable maintenance record. The mileage trajectory shows a steady climb: from 52,578 miles in May 2023 to 68,521 miles in May 2024, an increase of 15,943 miles over eleven months, followed by a further 17,388 miles to the April 2025 test, suggesting accelerated usage in the preceding year. Given the high annual mileage, a buyer should pay close attention to suspension bushes, coil springs, and any signs of binding rear calipers, as these components typically exhibit wear after 80,000 miles. Inspection of brake discs, pads and the condition of the exhaust system is also advisable, as is a visual check for structural rust on the front subframe and wheel arches. Although the recent MOT provides confidence in the vehicle’s immediate compliance, the extended interval since the last test and the elevated mileage suggest a need for a thorough in‑person assessment of wear items and structural integrity before purchase.
