2010 BMW X3 2.0L Diesel · SH60 VLL

The 2024‑08‑05 MOT at 192,608 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the BMW X3 remains roadworthy at the time of testing. No failures have been recorded since the 2023 test, indicating a stable maintenance record. The mileage shows a high annual average of about 12,000 miles for a 2010 model, rising from 177,268 miles in September 2021 to 192,608 miles in August 2024, a gain of 15,340 miles over three years. The jump from 177,268 miles in 2021 to 186,045 miles in August 2022 represents an 8,777‑mile increase in one year, suggesting intensive use during that period. No MOT was performed between August 2024 and July 2026, leaving the vehicle’s condition untested for two years. A buyer should therefore inspect the front suspension components that showed slight play in the 2023 test, specifically the offside front track rod end ball joint and anti‑roll bar linkage, checking for binding calipers, worn coil springs and suspension bushes. The tyre wear recorded in 2021 indicates the offside front tyre was near the legal limit, so tyre condition and tread depth must be verified. Examine the rear position lamp and ensure all lighting functions correctly, and look for any structural rust around the rear lamp housing or chassis rails. Check brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding, and verify that the exhaust meets emission standards.
