2021 BMW X5 XDRIVE45E M Sport Auto 3.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · M9 FAJ

The BMW X5 presented a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent DVSA test on 3 September 2025 at 32,443 miles, where the examiner recorded a pass with no defects or advisories. Across the two available annual tests the maintenance trend is stable, with the earlier 20 August 2024 examination at 23,681 miles also returning a fault-free pass. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical issues and no recurring faults requiring monitoring. The recorded mileage of 32,443 against a five-year lifespan equates to roughly 6,489 miles per year, a below-average accumulation that suggests light private use or extended periods of inactivity. The interval between the two tests shows 8,762 miles added over thirteen months, a modest annualised rate. With only two MOT entries on file the history is sparse but entirely clean, offering no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs by previous keepers. The absence of recorded advisories means the official tests flagged no concerns with suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion or exhaust emissions. Such a fault-free record implies the prior owner maintained the hybrid SUV to a standard that satisfied DVSA criteria. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the braking system for binding calipers and disc corrosion, as low mileage vehicles often suffer surface rust from standing. Tyres and wiper blades require checking for age-related perishing despite adequate tread. Given the plug-in hybrid drivetrain and limited use, examine the high-voltage battery cooling system and 12-volt auxiliary battery condition, neither of which the MOT assesses. The structural integrity underneath demands visual confirmation for any early corrosion around sills and subframes. The documented evidence supports a sound purchase proposition, provided a physical appraisal validates these unseen components.
