2019 BMW X6 3.0L Diesel · SO05 ALS

The most recent MOT on 2 December 2025 recorded a failure, principally due to an inoperative engine MIL indicator and persistent rear brake pad wear, indicating the vehicle is currently not road‑worthy. Recurring rear brake pad and disc wear, now compounded by an electronic fault, shows a worsening maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 57,852 miles in December 2023 to 64,183 miles by December 2025, an average of roughly 3,000 miles per year, well below the typical 9,000‑10,000 miles expected for a seven‑year‑old BMW X6. The modest accumulation suggests limited exposure and no evidence of abrupt mileage spikes. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the rear brake pads and discs, confirming that replacement has been carried out or is imminent, and inspect the rear tyre for tread depth and sidewall integrity given repeated warnings of legal‑limit wear. The engine management light must be interrogated with a diagnostic scan to resolve the MIL fault before the vehicle can be deemed road‑worthy. The November 2024 failure noted a missing near‑side front wheel fixing; a visual check of all wheel lug nuts, suspension bushings and any corrosion around the wheel arches is advisable to rule out loose components or structural issues that could affect handling.
