2010 BMW X5 3.0L Diesel · SB60 HBL

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-26 recorded a pass at 168,603 miles, with the only noted issue being feathering to all four tyres’ inside edges . This suggests uneven tyre wear, which could indicate alignment problems, suspension wear, or inconsistent driving habits. No major safety-critical failures were reported in this test. A recurring pattern of tyre-related issues appears in the history, including cuts, nails, and wear near legal limits. The 2025-03-03 MOT noted a nearside front tyre with a cut deep enough to reach the ply, while the 2024-02-16 test flagged an offside front nail. These issues imply potential neglect in tyre maintenance or exposure to harsh road conditions. The 2026 test’s feathering further suggests ongoing tyre wear, possibly linked to alignment or suspension faults. Headlamp cleaning devices failed in multiple tests (2025-03-03 and 2024-02-16) but were not mentioned in the 2026 pass, indicating possible repair. However, window tinting and registration plate issues persisted across several MOTs, with concerns about excessive tinting affecting visibility and deteriorated plates. These are non-urgent but indicate a lack of attention to vehicle maintenance.
