2014 BMW X4 2.0L Diesel · LR64 FWM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on August 20, 2025. However, the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than proactive care. The car failed the test just one day prior to the successful result due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring and an offside front tyre with tread depth below the legal limit. While these specific issues were rectified to secure the pass, the history suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when an MOT failure demands it. At 92,781 miles over twelve years, the BMW X4 has averaged approximately 7,732 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for its age. The mileage accumulation between annual tests, such as the 12,263-mile gap between September 2022 and 2023, and the 3,644-mile gap between 2023 and 2024, shows consistent but moderate use. This steady pattern reduces the likelihood of extreme engine wear but does not negate the degradation of rubber components. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking system given the recurring issues. The September 2022 test flagged thin brake pads on both rear wheels, and the 2024 advisory noted uneven wear on the offside front tyre, which often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The fractured coil spring in 2025 highlights that the suspension components may be reaching the end of their functional life. Check for weeping leaks on the shock absorbers and excessive play in the control arms to ensure the previous failures have not caused secondary structural damage to the chassis.
