2013 BMW M5 4.4L Petrol · ND13 ABX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on January 30, 2025, confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 130,777 miles. This clean history over five consecutive tests—spanning from February 2019 to January 2025—indicates a stable maintenance pattern without recurring failures. The absence of advisories or major mechanical issues suggests the vehicle has been kept in consistent condition, though the lack of defects does not preclude wear typical for its age and mileage. The mileage progression shows steady accumulation, averaging around 10,000 miles annually, which is typical for a high-performance vehicle of this type. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, with the most recent interval covering 6,133 miles between October 2023 and January 2025. This consistency suggests regular use rather than prolonged neglect or storage. However, the absence of service records means potential hidden wear in high-stress components like the suspension, drivetrain, or turbocharged engine cannot be confirmed. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension integrity—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—alongside brake components, including caliper binding and disc thickness. The turbocharged engine’s intercooler and oil management should also be scrutinised, as should the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, warrants close examination, especially if the vehicle has seen winter exposure. While the MOT history is reassuring, these areas are critical for long-term reliability.
