2016 BMW X4 3.0L Diesel · YJ66 XOX

The most recent MOT from November 2025 resulted in a pass, but it highlighted several concerns regarding the tyres and suspension. Specifically, both rear tyres showed signs of damage or perishing on the sidewalls, and the offside rear coil spring was flagged for corrosion. There is a concerning pattern regarding the offside rear coil spring, which was first recorded as corroded in November 2024 and remained on the record in November 2025. This suggests that the component has not been replaced despite being flagged for two consecutive years, indicating a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. The overall condition trend is worsening. The vehicle had a completely clean record in 2021 and 2022, but since 2023, there has been a steady increase in reported issues, starting with worn brake discs and pads and progressing to tyre wear and suspension corrosion. The recorded mileage of 97,160 miles is typical for a ten-year-old vehicle. This suggests a standard level of use, meaning that wear on consumables like brakes and suspension is expected, but the lack of action on the corroded spring is a specific point of failure in the maintenance history. A buyer should first inspect the rear suspension, specifically checking for the condition of the coil springs and any signs of advanced corrosion. You should also closely examine the sidewalls of the rear tyres for cracking or damage to ensure they are safe for use.
