Our Verdict

Focus your attention on the tyre wear patterns and wheel alignment. The MOT records from 2023 and 2024 specifically highlight inner and outer tyre wear on the offside, which suggests a potential alignment issue common in heavy SUVs. Verify that the tyres have been replaced or the alignment corrected since the 2024 advisory.
When reviewing the service history, ensure that oil changes have been carried out regularly despite the lower annual mileage. Given the vehicle's 2013 registration, it is also advisable to test all interior electronic functions to ensure they remain fully operational.
The 2993cc diesel engine offers significant power but results in higher VED tax bands and insurance groups compared to smaller vehicles. Fuel economy will be typical for a large diesel 4x4, though the overall cost is influenced by the vehicle's weight and engine size.
Maintenance costs for the X5 are generally higher than average. Potential buyers should budget for the replacement of wear-and-tear items such as brake pads and anti-roll bars, the latter of which is a common failure point for this model according to aggregate data.
Perform a detailed inspection of the tyres. The MOT history shows a trend of uneven wear on the offside front and rear tyres between 2023 and 2024; check for current tread depth and signs of scrubbing on the inner edges.
Additionally, inspect the headlamps and anti-roll bars, as aggregate data identifies these as top MOT failure reasons for the X5. A test drive should be used to check for any unusual knocks or vibrations that might indicate suspension wear.
This black BMW X5 diesel has a recorded mileage of 80,698 miles as of November 2025, which is below the average for its age. The MOT history shows five passes, although it contains recurring advisories regarding uneven tyre wear. It represents a low-mileage option for the 2993cc engine variant.
The X5 maintains a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 84.6%, with tyres and anti-roll bars being the most frequent causes of failure.
