2015 BMW X3 2.0L Diesel · FE65 TTX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following the September 2025 inspection at 110,698 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recurring issue with suspension component corrosion, specifically the nearside and offside rear coil springs, which were flagged as corroded on both the passed and failed tests recorded on the same date. This repeated failure on the same structural component suggests a persistent issue with the vehicle's undercarriage integrity that requires immediate attention. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 77,837 miles in September 2022 to 88,886 miles in September 2023, and then to 99,477 miles in September 2024. The jump from 99,477 to 110,698 miles occurred over a year, indicating typical usage patterns, though the lack of a recent inspection after the 2025 failure means the current condition of the noted corrosion remains unverified. A buyer should inspect the suspension system thoroughly, particularly the rear coil springs, as corrosion is a significant structural concern. The previous owner's history of neglecting basic maintenance, evidenced by the worn rear brake pads noted in the September 2024 test, implies that consumable wear is not being addressed proactively. Check the condition of all tyre treads, as the offside rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit in September 2022. The failure on the September 2025 test regarding insufficient windscreen washer liquid is a minor point but reflects a general lack of attention to routine checks. While the engine cover and under trays were fitted during the 2024 inspection, the recurring corrosion on the suspension components demands a detailed mechanical assessment before purchase.
