2015 BMW X6 4.4L Petrol · XL02 ALS

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical wear in the most recent testing cycle. While the car passed its latest MOT on June 5, 2025, at 82,785 miles, the tester flagged a damaged offside front engine mounting and light misting on the offside rear shock absorber. The shock absorber issue is a recurring fault, first noted during the June 2024 test at 80,539 miles, indicating a component that is slowly progressing towards eventual failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of distance, moving from 60,944 miles in 2021 to 82,785 miles in 2025. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often benefits seals, though the relatively low annual mileage relative to the age of a premium BMW X6 means that rubber components and bushings may be subject to natural degradation over time. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the offside rear suspension to determine if the misting has progressed to a significant leak that would require immediate replacement. The damaged offside front engine mounting also warrants scrutiny for engine vibration or unusual noise under load, as worn mounts can place premature stress on the drivetrain. While the 2024 advisory regarding a worn offside rear tyre was likely addressed, the buyer should verify the current tread depth and alignment across all tyres to ensure the suspension is not causing uneven wear.
