2017 BMW X5 4.4L Petrol · RAH 21

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test on October 31 2025 at 73,385 miles passed with minor advisories regarding a deteriorated rear registration plate and a cut on the offside front tyre. While these are low-priority issues, the history indicates a pattern of allowing consumable components to be addressed only when they approach the threshold of failure. The mileage pattern is inconsistent across the vehicle's life. Between October 2021 at 32,551 miles and October 2022 at 67,685 miles, the car covered over 35,000 miles in a single year, which is significantly above the average. However, the data shows a sharp drop in usage thereafter; the 2024 test recorded 95,472 miles, which appears to be a data error in the provided record given that the subsequent 2025 test shows only 73,385 miles. This discrepancy suggests either a period of heavy use or a clerical mistake in the mileage recording during the later inspections. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the braking system and suspension components. Every test from 2022 through 2023 flagged thin brake pads across all four axles, suggesting the previous owner neglected routine brake services. A physical inspection should check for uneven disc wear or signs of sticking calipers, as the repeated pad wear patterns often point to mechanical inefficiency. The recurring advisories for cut tyres also suggest a history of curb damage or rough driving, which warrants a thorough check of the wheel alignment and suspension bushings for signs of damage or premature wear.
