2018 BMW X5 3.0L Diesel · LA18 APA

This BMW X5 maintains a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing its MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 24 October 2025 at 73,527 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the vehicle is currently in a mechanically sound state according to DVSA standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 9,191 miles per year. The gap between the October 2024 test at 63,940 miles and the October 2025 test at 73,527 miles shows a steady usage pattern of nearly 10,000 miles annually. There are no erratic jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. The record is remarkably clean for a vehicle of this vintage. The only notable entry occurred during the 21 October 2024 test, where the tester flagged both nearside and offside rear tyres as worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge. The absence of these advisories in the 2025 test confirms the owner addressed the tyre wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on general wear items that do not always trigger MOT failures. While the record shows no issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, the previous tyre wear on the edges suggests a potential need to check the wheel alignment. Verifying the current depth and evenness of the tyre tread across all four corners remains the primary recommendation.
