2016 BMW X5 3.0L Diesel · S22 UBN

The 2016 BMW X5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 December 2025 at 104,159 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests show the same clean outcome. No recurring advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five-year DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not developed any worsening wear pattern. Recorded mileage sits at 104,159 against a ten-year lifespan, an average of roughly 10,400 miles per year and typical for the model age. The jump from 80,602 miles at the 21 December 2022 test to 96,642 miles by 13 December 2023 shows around 16,000 miles covered that year, above the norm but not extreme. From 2023 to the 2024 tests at 100,214 miles and the 2025 test at 104,159, annual use fell back to roughly 3,500 to 4,000 miles, suggesting lighter recent running. The record is sparse and clean, with the only anomaly being a failed entry on 11 December 2024 carrying no defects, immediately superseded by a pass the same day at identical mileage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the age and mixed mileage profile. The X5's aluminium and steel structure warrants a visual check for corrosion at chassis mounting points and sills despite no MOT-flagged structural issues. The same-day fail and pass with zero recorded defects implies an administrative or presentation error at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect, but confirming this with the DVSA certificate is prudent before purchase.
