2002 BMW X5 3.0L Petrol · EX02 AKK

The 23 October 2024 MOT at 168,839 miles records a pass with no defects, establishing current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend stays stable across the available record, with no mechanical advisories logged. The tester failed the vehicle on 18 October 2024 at 168,826 miles and again on 18 April 2023 at 164,449 miles, yet both entries show no defects. The 27 April 2023 test passed the car at 164,452 miles and the later October pass followed within five days, indicating the failures concerned non-mechanical criteria resolved swiftly. Recorded mileage of 168,839 on a 2002 BMW X5 equates to roughly 7,035 miles per year, a typical average for the age. The documented tests begin 30 May 2022 at 163,321 miles and end 23 October 2024 at 168,839 miles, covering only 5,518 miles across 29 months, about 2,280 miles annually lately. Between May 2022 and April 2023 the odometer advanced just 1,128 miles. Sparse history prior to 2022 leaves earlier wear undocumented, but the recent clean sheets imply light use. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes and mountings, as a 24-year-old 4x4 escapes MOT advisories only by chance. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, measure brake disc wear and caliper binding despite no flags, and verify exhaust emissions against age. The twin fail-without-defect events suggest previous owners booked tests prematurely; confirm V5C details and prior certificates to exclude administrative gaps.
