Our Verdict
A highly recommended purchase for those seeking a premium SUV with a clean record. This silver BMW X3 has a consistent MOT history and demonstrates a steady pattern of ownership and maintenance.
When purchasing this X3, prioritise the review of the full service history to ensure the 2.0L petrol engine has had regular oil changes, which is critical for BMWs at this mileage. While the MOT history is clean, the 2023 advisory regarding tyre wear on both front and rear tyres suggests a period of neglected rubber; check the current brand and age of the tyres to ensure they haven't been replaced with budget alternatives.
Negotiate based on any upcoming major service intervals. Since the car is now over 80,000 miles, check if the brake pads and discs have been replaced recently, as these are common wear items for a heavy SUV of this age.
The 1998cc petrol engine offers a balance of performance and efficiency, though fuel costs will be higher than the diesel equivalent. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a premium mid-sized SUV, combined with a standard VED tax band for 2018 petrol vehicles.
Insurance for the X3 is generally mid-range, but maintenance costs can be higher than average due to the premium parts required for BMWs. Annual costs will be driven primarily by fuel and the requirement for high-quality synthetic oils during servicing.
Inspect the tyres thoroughly. The June 2023 MOT noted that three tyres (nearside front, offside front, and nearside rear) were worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge; verify that these have been replaced and check for uneven wear, which could indicate an alignment issue.
Perform a visual check of the silver paintwork for any stone chips or scratches common on motorway-driven vehicles. Additionally, check the interior leather and electronics, as the high-specification cabins in these models can show wear around the driver's seat bolster and center console by 80,000 miles.
This 2018 BMW X3 (ML51ANY) presents as a well-maintained example of the 2.0L petrol variant. With a current odometer reading of 80,110 miles, the vehicle has passed every MOT since 2021 without a single failure. The history suggests a car that has been used regularly but kept in roadworthy condition.
While aggregate data is unavailable, this specific vehicle's record of five consecutive MOT passes suggests a reliable individual example.
