2024 BMW X5 3.0L Petrol · OU73 DLF

The most recent MOT on 24 April 2026 shows a clean pass at 44,604 miles, following a same-day fail for headlamp aim being too high on both sides. That fault was corrected before the pass, and the overall pattern is stable: no structural, suspension, or mechanical defects have appeared across any test. The only recurring issue is headlamp aim misalignment, flagged at both the first and most recent inspections. This is a simple adjustment but repeated occurrence suggests the aiming mechanism or vehicle levelling system may drift over time. Mileage sits at 44,604 after roughly two years in service, translating to about 22,302 miles per year. That is well above average for a car of this age. The recorded increments are consistent: 7,082 miles in January 2024, 28,706 miles in May 2025, and 44,604 miles in April 2026. The gap between the first and second tests covers about 16 months and 21,624 miles, which is routine. No sudden jumps or long periods of inactivity appear. The high annual mileage places extra wear on consumables, but the MOT record itself gives no cause for concern. A buyer should pay attention to headlamp alignment during a test drive, as the fault has appeared twice. Confirm the aim is now correctly set and check for any headlight levelling system warning on the dashboard. Otherwise, no prior advisories exist for brakes, tyres, suspension, or corrosion. The car has been presented for every test with no failures beyond the headlamp issue. Given the sparse defect history and consistently clean condition checks, a detailed mechanical inspection remains sensible only for high-mileage wear items such as brake discs, pads, and shock absorbers.
