Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those seekin
When viewing this white 2.9L diesel X5, your primary focus should be on the rear suspension system. The July 2023 MOT failure specifically noted both rear suspension air bags were cracking and perishing; ensure these have been replaced with quality components and check for any signs of leaking or uneven ride height.
Additionally, while the most recent MOTs show no tyre defects, the 2023 failure highlighted significant issues with tyres reaching the legal limit or having cords exposed. Inspect the current tread depth across all four tyres and look for uneven wear patterns that could indicate alignment issues. Finally, confirm that the service history aligns with the mileage, as this vehicle has covered more than the statistical average for its age.
As a 2993cc diesel, this X5 will fall into a higher tax bracket and insurance group typical of premium large SUVs. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style, but expect typical diesel SUV figures for a vehicle of this weight and engine size.
Maintenance costs for this model can be significant, particularly regarding the air suspension components and large-diameter tyres noted in the MOT history. Budget for more frequent inspections of suspension components and braking systems. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle is approximately £2,200-£2,800, depending on mileage and insurance profile.
Given the specific MOT failure on 2023-07-24, you must inspect the rear air suspension carefully. Look for any 'squatting' when the engine is off or an uneven stance when parked on level ground, which could indicate the air bags or compressors are failing.
Check the tyres thoroughly. The history shows a pattern of multiple tyres failing due to excessive wear or exposed cords; ensure the current set is premium quality and has ample tread. You should also inspect the wheel arches and suspension components for any signs of leaks or debris that might suggest ongoing issues with the air system.
This 2017 BMW X5 (J22OBK) has covered 90,734 miles since its registration in June 2017. While it experienced a failure in July 2023 due to tyre wear and air bag degradation, the subsequent two MOT tests have been passed with no defects recorded. The vehicle's mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 8,030 per year, reflecting its use as a long-distance cruiser.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 84.6% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, tyres, and anti-roll bars.
