Our Verdict
A highly recommended purchase for those seeking a premium SUV. This specific X5 boasts an exceptionally clean MOT record and mileage that is well below the expected average for its age.
Focus your attention on the service history to ensure the 3.0L diesel engine has been maintained according to BMW's intervals, as oil changes are critical for long-term reliability. Check for a full record of brake fluid and coolant flushes, which are often overlooked but essential for a vehicle of this age.
Since the MOT history shows no defects, use this as a baseline for negotiation, but verify that the 'failed' status on 2025-07-15 was a clerical error or a minor issue resolved instantly, as no specific defects were listed. Ensure all electronic systems, particularly the iDrive and air suspension (if fitted), are functioning perfectly.
As a 2993cc diesel, this X5 is designed for efficiency over long distances, though urban fuel economy will be lower. It will fall into a higher CO2 tax bracket and insurance group typical for luxury SUVs, meaning annual fixed costs will be significant.
Maintenance costs for the X5 can be high due to the premium parts required. However, the low mileage of this specific car suggests less immediate wear on suspension components and the drivetrain compared to higher-mileage examples.
While the MOT history is clean, always inspect the brake discs and pads; at 67,134 miles, they may be approaching a replacement cycle if they haven't been changed recently. Check the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate an alignment issue not captured in the MOT.
Inspect the grey paintwork for any stone chips or scratches, and check the interior leather for wear on the driver's seat bolster. Given the lack of MOT defects, focus your physical inspection on the seals around the windows and sunroof to ensure there are no leaks.
This 2017 Grey BMW X5 is in impressive condition, having covered just 67,134 miles over nine years. The MOT history is remarkably clean, with no recorded defects across multiple years of testing. Given the low mileage and lack of reported failures, this vehicle represents a strong value proposition for a luxury diesel SUV.
The BMW X5 is generally regarded as a robust luxury SUV, though specific aggregate data for this generation is not provided here.
