Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the recent MOT advisories regarding suspension arm pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside front, you should budget for potential suspension refurbishment. Test drive the vehicle over uneven surfaces to check for any knocking or clunking noises that might indicate these worn components are progressing towards failure.
Check the tyre tread depth thoroughly, as the 2026 and 2024 MOT records both highlighted tyres being worn close to the legal limit. Because this is a heavy hybrid X5, tyre wear can be accelerated. Finally, verify the service history specifically regarding the hybrid battery system and the complex 45e drivetrain, as the high mileage of nearly 130,000 miles is substantial for a six-year-old vehicle.
As a 2998cc hybrid, running costs will vary significantly depending on how much of the electric range is utilised. However, the high mileage suggests it has been used for long-distance commuting, which may impact fuel economy if the battery is depleted.
Insurance groups for the X5 M Sport are typically high, and maintenance costs for a premium BMW hybrid can be significant, especially regarding tyres and suspension components. Expect higher-than-average maintenance costs due to the vehicle's weight and the complexity of the XDRIVE45E system. Estimated annual running costs are likely to be substantial.
Focus your inspection on the front suspension. The 2026 MOT specifically noted worn suspension arm pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front. You should check for any play in the steering or uneven tyre wear, which often accompanies these issues.
Additionally, inspect the tyres across all four corners. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of tyres being worn close to the legal limit in both 2024 and 2026. Check for any signs of uneven wear that could indicate alignment issues, which is common on heavy SUVs like the X5.
This 2020 BMW X5 XDRIVE45E M Sport is a high-mileage hybrid that has covered significantly more than the model average for its age. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre wear and recent suspension component advisories at 129,755 miles. While it has passed its tests, the frequent advisories suggest a vehicle that has been driven extensively.
Aggregate data from 7,884 similar models shows an 86% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to tyres, suspension arms, and repeaters.
