2013 BMW X5 3.0L Diesel · RH04 DAV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test, conducted on 25 June 2025 at 124,296 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows a period of consecutive clean passes in 2024 and 2023, indicating that the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical or safety failures during the annual testing process. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a thirteen-year-old luxury SUV, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 105,972 miles and June 2025 at 124,296 miles, the vehicle covered 18,324 miles, representing a steady usage pattern. The brief gap in early August 2023, where the vehicle failed at 113,164 miles before passing two days later, suggests a minor reactive repair but indicates the car is utilized regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which helps prevent seal degradation and corrosion. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the suspension geometry and bushings, as high-mileage X5 models often suffer from wear in the control arms. While the MOT records are clean, the transition past 120,000 miles puts significant stress on the drivetrain components and air suspension systems. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for oil leaks around the engine seals and the condition of the brake lines is essential, as the MOT test does not detect minor fluid leaks until they reach a failure threshold.
