2023 BMW X2 1.5L Petrol · LM23 AAZ

The most recent MOT, carried out on 12 March 2026, was passed but issued an advisory that the front tyres are worn close to the legal limit, with edge wear noted on both sides. As this is the only MOT entry available, there is no pattern of recurring failures or advisories to suggest a deteriorating trend; the vehicle appears to have been maintained to a level that satisfies the statutory inspection requirements, with the sole point of attention being tyre wear. With a recorded 24 995 miles on the odometer and a three‑year age, the car averages roughly 8 300 miles per annum. This usage sits comfortably within the typical UK annual mileage range for a compact SUV and does not indicate excessive wear from high mileage. There are no obvious gaps in the recorded mileage that would imply prolonged periods of inactivity, so the wear on consumables should correspond closely to the distance travelled rather than to calendar ageing alone. Prospective buyers should give the front tyres immediate scrutiny. Examine the tread depth across the central band and edges, looking for uneven wear that could point to mis‑alignment, worn suspension bushes, or a binding front axle. Listen for any thumping or vibration on the road that may accompany worn tyre sidewalls, and be prepared for a front tyre replacement as a near‑term expense. While the MOT did not flag any brake, suspension or exhaust issues, a visual inspection of the brake discs for surface rust or glazing, and a test‑drive check for any pull or judder when applying the brakes, will confirm that the braking system remains within safe limits. Beyond the tyres, the vehicle’s age warrants a broader time‑based review. Verify the condition of the 12 V battery, especially if the car has spent long periods standing, and consider a load test to rule out capacity loss. Inspect the suspension components—coil springs, damper units and rubber bushes—for any signs of cracking, leakage or excessive play, which can develop even at moderate mileage. Check the condition of the coolant, brake fluid and gearbox oil, as manufacturers typically recommend replacement at set intervals regardless of mileage. Finally, ensure the service book is up‑to‑date, with recent oil changes and filter replacements recorded, to give confidence that the engine and ancillary systems have been looked after in line with BMW’s service schedule.
