2018 BMW 5 Series 3.0L Diesel · G5 PWF

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 20 October 2025 at 43,114 miles with no recorded defects, confirming roadworthiness at the time of testing. Earlier failures were limited to tyre and wheel advisory items, and the absence of any advisories in the 2025 and 2025‑06 tests shows an improving trend in the recorded condition. Across eight years the car has accumulated 43,114 miles, averaging roughly 5,400 miles per year – a mileage well below the typical usage for a 2018 model. The MOTs are spaced at intervals of six to twelve months, with the mileage rising from 27,751 miles in September 2021 to 43,114 miles in October 2025, indicating a steady, modest increase and no evidence of sudden mileage spikes or long periods of inactivity. The recurring tyre advisories – cuts on the near‑side front outer tyre in September 2022, inner‑edge wear on both front tyres in October 2023, and earlier damage to rear tyres and a distorted rear wheel in 2021 – suggest that tyre health has required attention. A prospective buyer should therefore examine the current tread depth, sidewall integrity, and the condition of all wheels for any lingering distortion or corrosion. Although no suspension or brake faults appear in the record, a visual and functional check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs is prudent to confirm that no hidden wear has developed since the last test. Finally, a thorough inspection for any structural rust or damage around the wheel arches and chassis will ensure that the vehicle’s integrity remains sound.
