2014 BMW X5 3.0L Diesel · S7 TRD

Based on the DVSA MOT record, this 2014 BMW X5 presents a stable and reassuring mechanical picture. The most recent test on 5 December 2025 at 87,285 miles returned a completely clean pass with zero defects or advisories. This follows a pattern of consistent, defect-free testing stretching back to December 2021, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard in recent years. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Between the December 2021 test at 58,961 miles and the December 2025 test at 87,285 miles, the vehicle covered 28,324 miles over four years, averaging roughly 7,081 miles annually. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings, suggesting regular use rather than long periods of standing or recent high-mileage punishment. The only notable blemish on the record occurred in December 2023 at 72,877 miles, when the tester flagged both the nearside and offside rear inner tyres as worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge. This points to a period where basic tyre upkeep was overlooked, though the issue was evidently rectified before the next test. Inner-edge wear on rear tyres of an X5 often hints at suspension geometry drift or worn rear suspension bushes, even if no mechanical defect was formally recorded at the time. A buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focusing on the rear suspension and braking components. Check the condition of rear track rod ends, trailing arm bushes, and anti-roll bar links for play or deterioration. Inspect the rear brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and examine the subframe and inner wing arches for any signs of corrosion. The clean recent MOTs are encouraging, but a physical underbody check remains essential on a vehicle of this age.
