2019 BMW X4 2.0L Diesel · WH68 BGU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 6 May 2026 at 59,308 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent lapse in oversight regarding basic equipment. A failure just one month prior on 28 April 2026 revealed that the car had mismatched tyres with different aspect ratios on the offside front axle and rear tyres worn to the legal limit. While these issues were rectified immediately to achieve the subsequent pass, they indicate a reactive approach to consumable maintenance rather than consistent preventative care. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old luxury vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in recorded data between the August 2022 test at 26,783 miles and the November 2024 test at 49,686 miles, during which the vehicle covered over 23,000 miles. The recent accumulation of nearly 10,000 miles over the last year suggests the car is currently in a period of regular use, which explains the accelerated wear noted on the brakes and tyres in the most recent inspections. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The 2023 test flagged thin brake pads on both axles, and the April 2026 failure for edge-wear on the rear tyres suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the age of the BMW X4, check for uneven wear on the brake discs and the condition of the control arm bushings. Ensure the newly fitted tyres are of a matching specification and brand to avoid repeating the safety defect that caused the previous failure.
