2016 BMW M5 4.4L Petrol · L3 KTA

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 4 July 2025 at 60,172 miles resulted with no defects or advisories recorded. This stable trend across the last five years indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the common mechanical and structural failures typically seen in high-performance machinery. The mileage pattern reflects a low-utilization profile, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between the June 2021 test at 52,949 miles and the July 2025 test at 60,172 miles, the car covered 7,223 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme annual mileage which generally preserves the integrity of the drivetrain and suspension components. However, the low mileage over a decade can sometimes mask age-related degradation of rubber-based components such as bushings and fluid seals which are not always captured in a standard MOT test. While the MOT record shows no recurring advisories, a physical inspection should focus on the specific wear points of the M5 platform that the tester does not monitor. A buyer should check the condition of the control arm bushes and coil springs for cracking, as low-frequency use often leads to perish. Given the low mileage, the brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting if the car has sat for extended periods. Additionally, verifying the integrity of the cooling and checking for oil leaks is essential to ensure the clean MOT history translates to genuine mechanical health.
