2011 BMW X3 2.0L Diesel · SW61 LHJ

The 2011 BMW X3 holds a valid MOT pass as of 2024-01-31 at 130,594 miles with no defects recorded, establishing a stable and improving maintenance trajectory. The most recent test follows a clean pass in 2022-12-22 at 115,897 miles that carried only minor tyre wear advisories, and a clean pass in 2021-11-29 at 100,732 miles. The vehicle has not failed an MOT since 2015, and the record moves from recurring consumable advisories toward a fully clean pass. The mileage profile aligns with typical annual usage of roughly 8,700 miles for a 15-year-old vehicle. The history shows consistent intervals between tests, with the longest gap between 2019-05-01 and 2020-11-02 spanning 18 months and covering 11,000 miles. The period from 2022-12-22 to 2024-01-31 covers 13 months and 14,697 miles, suggesting slightly higher recent mileage but still within normal parameters. No suspiciously low or stagnant periods appear in the record. A buyer should prioritise inspection of the rear brake discs and pads, given the 2019 advisory on thin front and rear brake pads and the 2022 nearside and offside rear tyre wear close to the legal limit, which may indicate alignment or suspension geometry issues. The 2019 finding of slight play in the steering rack warrants a check for excessive free play and worn rack bushes, while the 2016 offside trackrod inner balljoint play suggests prior front-end wear that could have progressed. The 2014 entry noting under-trays fitted to obscure underside components raises the need to verify structural integrity and corrosion protection beneath the vehicle, particularly around the sills and rear subframe.
