Our Verdict

This is a strong candidate for buyers se

When inspecting this 4.4L petrol variant, ensure you verify the service history, as MOT records do not confirm whether regular maintenance has been carried out. Given the large engine capacity, check that oil changes have been performed according to BMW's specific intervals.

Because the aggregate data for this model shows 'tyre' as a top failure reason, you should pay close attention to the tread depth and condition of all four tyres. Check for uneven wear which could indicate suspension issues, particularly given the weight of this high-performance engine variant.

The running costs for this 4395cc petrol model will be significantly higher than standard 5 Series variants due to the large engine displacement. Expect higher fuel consumption and potentially higher insurance groups depending on the specific trim level.

Maintenance costs for BMWs can be substantial, especially for larger engine components. Annual running costs will be influenced heavily by your driving style and the cost of premium fuel required for this engine size.

Focus your inspection on the tyres, as this is the most common failure point for this model in the aggregate data. Check for any signs of uneven wear or sidewall damage.

As there were no defects recorded in the 2025 or 2024 MOT tests, there are no specific mechanical failures to trace. However, you should still inspect the braking system and suspension components, which are standard areas of interest for executive saloons of this age.

This 2021 BMW 5 Series, finished in Red, has covered 32,102 miles as of its last recorded MOT in November 2024. With an average annual mileage for this model being approximately 9,831, this vehicle's usage is roughly in line with the aggregate data for the model. The MOT history for this specific registration is clean, with no defects noted in its two most recent tests.

The aggregate MOT data for this model shows an 87.9% pass rate across 80,800 vehicles analysed.
