The BMW X3 (2010-14) SDRIVE18D 5DR SUV 2.0 DPF SS 143 EU5 SE AUTO8 is a premium, mid-sized family SUV: roomier and higher-riding than a hatchback, but easier to live with than a large 4x4. In the UK it sits among desirable used family cars, combining BMW style and comfort with practical five-door versatility. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 97 look-ups covering 66 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a huge sample. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £7,600 and average recorded mileage of 94,000 miles; typical annual use is 7,000 miles. Vehicles averaged just over two previous keepers, so buyers should review each car’s history and condition individually. With an automatic gearbox, comfortable cabin and boot, this diesel suits families, commuters and motorway drivers wanting a refined SUV. It feels more premium than mainstream rivals such as the Nissan Qashqai, with composed driving; check maintenance and emissions equipment before purchase.
