2007 BMW X5 4.8L Petrol · LE07 FWW

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, passed with no recorded defects at its most recent test on 18 December 2025 at 51,425 miles, reflecting a stable and improving maintenance trend over the past three years following earlier rear brake component wear that has not recurred in subsequent tests. The vehicle’s recorded mileage of 51,425 aligns with its 19-year age, averaging roughly 2,707 miles per year, a low figure consistent with either light intermittent use or extended periods of stationary storage. Mileage accumulation between consecutive annual MOT tests has remained consistently low, with no spikes in usage noted across the full test history, and there are no gaps in the annual MOT record indicating missed statutory tests. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the rear braking system, as the MOT record shows recurring rear disc wear and corrosion flagged in December 2021 and December 2022 that has not reappeared in later tests. Verify current rear disc thickness, pad wear, and check for binding rear calipers that could accelerate uneven disc degradation, and confirm the edge corrosion noted in the 2022 test has not developed into deep pitting or structural weakening of the discs. Also confirm the fuel cap seal flagged as starting to deteriorate in the January 2025 test is fully intact, with no signs of fuel vapour leaks or evaporative system faults. While no suspension or structural corrosion defects appear in the MOT history, the vehicle’s low annual mileage and age mean long periods of stationary storage are likely, so inspect for seized suspension components, perished rubber mounting bushes, and hidden underbody corrosion in areas not assessed during standard MOT testing.
