2022 BMW X5 XDRIVE45E M Sport Auto 3.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · LC72 CGG

The most recent MOT, carried out on 2 September 2025, was passed. The only advisory recorded was a minor defect to the central lower windscreen – a chip/crack within the swept area – which did not affect the driver’s view and therefore did not constitute a failure. With no recorded failures or recurring advisories, the MOT history suggests a generally stable maintenance pattern, though the single advisory indicates that at least one cosmetic repair has been required. At 82 424 miles the 2022 BMW X5 xDrive45e is averaging roughly 20 600 miles per annum, which is considerably above the typical UK average of around 10‑12 000 miles per year for a vehicle of this class. This level of utilisation points to accelerated wear on consumable components such as tyres, brake pads and discs, suspension bushings, and the high‑voltage hybrid battery cooling system. The mileage also implies that the vehicle has likely undergone frequent short‑haul or urban driving, which tends to increase stress on the transmission and drivetrain while offering limited opportunity for the brakes to cool fully between stops. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the condition of the suspension – inspect the front and rear control arm bushes, ball joints and the coil‑spring mounts for any signs of cracking, leakage of grease or excessive play when the wheel is rocked. On a test drive listen for clunking or creaking over bumps, which could herald impending bush wear. The brake system warrants close scrutiny: check the thickness of the front and rear discs for heat‑induced warping, and verify that the pads have adequate remaining material. Any pulsation or shudder when applying the brakes, especially at higher speeds, may indicate disc thickness variation or caliper binding that will need addressing. Given the high mileage, also examine the drivetrain for any unusual noises from the e‑motor or the 8‑speed automatic gearbox, and confirm that the hybrid battery cooling fans operate quietly and without excessive vibration. Finally, the windscreen chip should be assessed for any propagation; a professional repair or replacement may be advisable to prevent moisture ingress and maintain structural integrity. Verify that the tyre sidewalls are free of age‑related cracking, as tyres older than six years can deteriorate even if tread depth appears acceptable. A load‑test of the 12‑volt battery and a check of the high‑voltage battery health (via a diagnostic scan) are prudent, especially if the vehicle has spent periods idle. Ensure that the service book shows regular oil, coolant and brake fluid changes at the manufacturer‑specified intervals, and that any time‑based fluid replacements have been observed, as fluid degradation can occur irrespective of mileage.
