2011 BMW 5 Series 3.0L Diesel · FV11 FSF

The 2011 BMW 5 Series is currently roadworthy, as indicated by the most recent MOT test on 2025-07-07 at 161,956 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no major issues reported in recent years. However, some recurring minor faults suggest ongoing wear on consumables. The recorded mileage of 161,956 miles over 15 years, or approximately 10,797 miles per year, is roughly typical for this vehicle's age. Reviewing the MOT history, mileage accumulation seems consistent, with an average annual mileage of around 10,000-11,000 miles. There are no notable gaps or rapid mileage accumulation periods evident in the record. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's tyres in person, as they have been worn close to the legal limit on multiple occasions, including both rear tyres in 2022 and both front tyres in 2025. Additionally, brake components should be checked, given the 2023 test flagged imbalanced braking and a disconnected brake pad wear sensor on the offside rear. Suspension components, particularly the front suspension arm bushes and track rod ends, may also warrant closer inspection, as they have shown signs of wear in previous tests. The vehicle's underside and rear input shaft on the differential should also be examined for signs of oil leaks, as noted in 2023 and 2025. Overall, while the vehicle has passed recent MOT tests, these recurring issues suggest some maintenance may be due or pending.
