2018 BMW X4 3.0L Diesel · FX68 LFM

The 2018 BMW X4 has maintained a clean MOT record since the October 2024 test at 49,909 miles, with no defects recorded in either the 2025 or 2024 examinations. This suggests a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, though the most recent test occurred just six months ago, leaving a gap of under six months before the next due date. The absence of advisories or repeated failures in critical systems indicates no obvious pattern of deferred maintenance, though the 2023 and 2021 tests reveal a history of tyre-related advisories that should prompt closer scrutiny. Mileage progression shows a consistent average of around 6,364 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The largest recorded jump occurred between the 2021 and 2022 tests, where mileage increased by 8,451 miles in just over a year, though this remains within reasonable bounds for a well-used car. There are no extended periods of inactivity or unusually low mileage intervals to suggest neglect, though the 2023 test at 41,714 miles—just over a year after the 2022 pass—indicates the vehicle was driven regularly during that period. The recurring advisories on tyre wear, particularly in 2021 and 2023, suggest either inconsistent tyre rotation or alignment issues over time. A buyer should verify current tyre tread depth and condition, as well as the alignment and pressure settings, to confirm no uneven wear persists. The 2023 mention of rear brake pads wearing thin warrants inspection of the brake system, including pad thickness, rotor condition, and the absence of binding or excessive noise. Given the clean MOT history since 2022, suspension components, steering linkages, and structural integrity appear to have been maintained, but a visual check for corrosion—especially around wheel arches, sills, and underbody—is advisable, given the vehicle’s age.
