2016 BMW X5 3.0L Diesel · GY66 EUE

The most recent MOT on 27 February 2026 records a Pass at 104,366 miles, but the same day a Fail was logged at 104,363 miles for a near‑side rear suspension unit leaking and tyres worn close to the legal limit. The subsequent Pass indicates the leak was remedied, leaving only advisory items. Overall the vehicle is presently road‑worthy, and the maintenance trend appears stable after the identified fault was corrected. Mileage has risen from 39,067 miles in October 2019 to 67,026 miles in February 2025, reflecting a typical annual average of roughly 10‑11 k mi. Between the February 2025 test and the February 2026 test the odometer jumped to 104,363 mi, an increase of over 37 k mi in twelve months. This abrupt rise suggests a period of intensive use or a possible recording anomaly, and it may have accelerated wear on consumables and load‑bearing components. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the off‑side rear inner tyre, ensuring tread depth exceeds the legal minimum and that the sidewall is free of damage. The near‑side rear suspension should be inspected for any fresh oil stains or dampness, confirming the leak was fully resolved. Functional wiper blades, intact bonnet hinges, and a clear registration plate are also advisable checks. Although brake performance has not been flagged by the MOT, a visual and functional examination of brake discs and pads is prudent given the vehicle’s mileage and recent high‑usage period.
