Our Verdict
Proceed with caution regarding maintenan
When viewing this 4.4L petrol model, your primary focus should be on the consistency of its maintenance. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre-related issues, including a failure in September 2025 due to exposed cords on both front tyres and a previous advisory for a worn nearside rear tyre in 2024. This suggests that consumable items may not always be replaced proactively.
Negotiate based on the recent tyre replacements and check if the service history reflects the high annual mileage. Because this is a large-capacity petrol engine, ensure that oil changes have been performed strictly according to BMW's intervals to protect the powertrain. Ask for evidence of recent brake and suspension checks, as these are common maintenance areas for heavy executive saloons.
Running this 4395cc petrol engine will be significantly more expensive than a standard 5 Series. Expect higher fuel consumption and higher insurance groups due to the engine size and performance capabilities.
Maintenance costs for this specific model are likely to be substantial, particularly regarding tyres and braking systems, given the vehicle's weight and power. Annual running costs will be heavily influenced by your annual mileage and driving style, but you should budget for premium parts and specialist labour.
Specifically inspect the condition of all four tyres; the MOT history shows a recent failure (5.2.3 (d) (ii)) where ply or cords were exposed on the front tyres, indicating they were driven well beyond their safe limit. Check the tread depth and evenness across all tyres to ensure they aren't wearing prematurely.
Additionally, examine the brake pads and discs. Given the previous advisory regarding tyre wear, it is worth verifying if other consumables like brake components have been maintained with the same level of attention. Check the underside for any signs of fluid leaks, which is important for a high-performance engine of this displacement.
This 2021 BMW 5 Series, finished in blue, has covered 56,565 miles since its first registration in September 2021. While the most recent MOT in September 2025 was a pass with no defects, the vehicle has experienced tyre-related failures and advisories in its recent history. Its mileage is notably higher than the model average of 9,854 miles per year.
Aggregate data from over 80,000 vehicles shows that tyres are a top MOT failure reason for this model range.
