2009 BMW X6 3.0L Diesel · FE09 LBL

The most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 shows that the vehicle failed due to an excessive engine oil leak, though it passed on the same day, implying a repair was made to meet the required standard. There is a clear pattern of worsening oil leaks. In March 2025, the MOT noted a front oil leak that was not considered excessive, but by May 2026, this had progressed to an excessive level that caused a failure. This trend suggests that engine seals or gaskets are deteriorating. The mileage of 125,752 is typical for a 17-year-old vehicle, representing roughly 7,400 miles per year. This indicates the car has likely seen regular, moderate use rather than being subjected to extreme mileage or long periods of inactivity. Before purchasing, you should inspect the engine bay and the underside of the car for any signs of fresh oil weeping or residue. It is essential to ask for receipts or documentation proving exactly what work was done to fix the excessive oil leak recorded in May 2026.
