2018 BMW X4 3.0L Diesel · WD68 GXY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 58,231 miles passed without new defects, the previous year showed a trend of neglecting consumable items until failure. The failure in July 2024 at 44,454 miles due to an illegal tyre and thin rear brake pads suggests the owner only addressed mechanical issues once they threatened the MOT certificate status. At 58,231 miles over eight years, the X4 has averaged approximately 7,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a premium SUV. The mileage data shows consistent intervals of roughly 11,000 to 14,000 miles between the annual tests from 2022 to 2025. However, the low annual mileage relative to the age of the vehicle often leads to rubber components, such as the perishing tyre noted in the 2023 test, if the vehicle has not been subjected to high-frequency motorway stress. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system, as the record consistently flags thin pads and worn discs across multiple years from 2023 to 2024. The recurring mention of thin rear pads suggests the rear calipers may be sticking or that the owner is simply ignoring service intervals. Additionally, the history of cracked and perishing tyres in 2023 indicates a need for a thorough check of all tyre sidewalls for dry rot, regardless of the remaining tread depth. The damage to the nearside front mirror has remained a persistent advisory since 2022, indicating a minor cosmetic defect that the owner has chosen not to rectify.
