2017 BMW X3 2.0L Diesel · CM17 BAM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward neglected suspension and tyre care. While the most recent test on 20 June 2025 at 47,344 miles passed, it introduced advisories for uneven wear across all tyres. This follows a failure in June 2024 due to a fractured offside rear coil spring and a faulty stop lamp. The transition from a mechanical failure to multiple wear-related advisories suggests a lack of proactive maintenance regarding running components. At 47,344 miles, this nine-year-old X3 sits significantly below the national average, averaging approximately 5,260 miles per year. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with a gap of 6,823 miles recorded between June 2023 and 2024, and another 4,161 miles covered in the final year. This low usage often indicates lighter engine wear but can also lead to rubber components hardening or suspension elements seizing prematurely, which aligns with the spring failure noted earlier in the record. A buyer must inspect the rear alignment and suspension geometry, as the 2025 test flagged uneven wear on the inner edges of the rear tyres alongside edge wear on the front. This often indicates worn suspension bushes or incorrect camber settings that have not been addressed since the spring replacement. Furthermore, since 2022 already noted rear brake pads were wearing thin, the current thickness of the pads should be verified to ensure they have not reached the limit of service despite the low mileage.
