2012 BMW X6 3.0L Diesel · R333 MWH

The vehicle currently holds a clean MOT status following its most recent test on 23 April 2026 at 110,765 miles. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, as the most recent inspection recorded no defects, effectively resolving the issues identified in previous years. While the July 2025 test initially failed due to a fractured nearside front coil spring, the subsequent pass indicates that this component was replaced and the vehicle was brought back to a compliant standard. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 101,203 miles in June 2023 to 110,765 miles in April 2026. This predictable usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high-speed motorway mileage or, conversely, long periods of inactivity which can lead to seized components. The intervals between tests are regular, providing a reliable chronological view of the car's mechanical condition. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and steering assemblies. The July 2024 test highlighted several advisories regarding worn suspension arm bushes and weak brake reaction arm bushes on both the nearside and offside fronts. Although the 2026 test passed without mention of these, worn bushes often indicate a pattern of component fatigue in the chassis. It is advisable to check for any play in the suspension joints and to inspect the condition of the coil springs to ensure the recent fracture has been properly addressed. The 2024 record also flagged a low tread depth on the offside rear tyre and defective windscreen wipers. While these are minor consumable items, they suggest that basic maintenance was occasionally deferred. Given the previous failure of the coil spring and the advisories regarding suspension bushings, a thorough check of the underbody for corrosion and the integrity of all rubber mounting components is recommended to ensure the vehicle remains structurally sound and handles predictably.
