2019 BMW X7 3.0L Petrol · YF19 HSN

The most recent MOT from March 2026 shows a pass, but it highlights a specific mechanical concern regarding the front suspension. Both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm ball joints were flagged for having slight play. There is a clear and worsening pattern in the suspension history. In March 2025, the MOT recorded worn pins or bushes in the same front lower suspension arms. The progression from worn bushes to ball joints with play suggests that the front suspension components are steadily deteriorating. At 73,619 miles, the vehicle has covered roughly 10,517 miles per year. This is typical mileage for a seven-year-old vehicle, suggesting standard road use rather than excessive heavy loading or long periods of inactivity. This level of usage is consistent with the wear seen on the suspension components. Before purchasing, you must confirm whether the ball joint play noted in the March 2026 MOT has been professionally rectified. You should inspect the front suspension thoroughly for any signs of play, noise, or uneven tyre wear, and ask for receipts to prove that the suspension components identified in the recent MOT have been replaced.
