2018 BMW X5 3.0L Diesel · SV18 ADB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on January 29 2026 at 94,152 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, as the car transitioned from having recurring tyre issues to a completely clean sheet in the latest inspection. This suggests that the current owner has addressed the deferred wear-related items that were flagged in previous years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase in usage, with 16,221 miles driven between the February 2024 and February 2025, and another 11,436 miles covered between February 2025 and January 2026. This regular usage is generally beneficial for complex German machinery like the X5 as it helps prevent seal degradation and component corrosion associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry due to the recurring uneven tyre wear noted in 2023 and 2025. In 2023, all four tyres were flagged for being near the legal limit and worn on the edges, while the 2025 test specifically highlighted the nearside front tyre. This pattern often indicates worn control arm bushes, faulty ball joints, or a tracking wheel alignment that may require a professional adjustment to prevent further premature rubber degradation. Given the vehicle is approaching the 100,000-mile mark, a thorough check of the brake rotors and fluid condition is also warranted, as the MOT record does not reflect the mechanical state of these components.
