Our Verdict
Proceed with significant caution. While
The primary priority is to account for the missing MOT records from 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. You must verify if the vehicle has been off the road or if records are simply missing. Request the full service history to ensure the hybrid powertrain and high-voltage battery have been maintained according to BMW specifications.
Negotiate based on the age of the components. Specifically, check if the nearside rear shock absorber, which was misting oil in 2022, has been replaced. Ensure all hybrid-specific health checks have been performed, as these are critical for the long-term value of a 2019 model.
As a hybrid electric vehicle with Euro 6 DG status, this 5 Series offers improved fuel efficiency in urban environments and avoids many low-emission zone charges. However, insurance groups for the 5 Series are typically high, and maintenance for the hybrid system can be more costly than standard diesel or petrol equivalents.
Expect higher tyre replacement costs due to the weight of the hybrid battery and the performance nature of the vehicle. Typical annual costs will include road tax, comprehensive insurance, and scheduled servicing for a premium executive saloon.
Directly inspect the nearside rear shock absorber for signs of leakage or failure, as this was specifically flagged in the 2022 MOT. Because suspension arms are a top failure reason for this model across 80,932 analysed vehicles, have a mechanic check all suspension bushings and joints for wear.
Additionally, check the headlamps for condensation or failure, as these are another common MOT failure point for the 5 Series. Ensure the hybrid system is operating smoothly without warning lights on the dashboard during a test drive.
This 2019 black BMW 5 Series hybrid electric vehicle was recorded with 59,233 miles in July 2022. The provided history shows one passed MOT test, which included an advisory for a leaking rear shock absorber. Given the current date, there is a substantial gap in the recorded testing history that needs investigation.
The BMW 5 Series maintains a respectable average MOT pass rate of 87.8% across a large dataset of over 80,000 vehicles.
