Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Focus your attention on the service history to ensure the 1995cc diesel engine has been serviced at the recommended intervals. Given the recent MOT advisory, you should use the 'light misting of oil' on the nearside front shock absorber as a point for negotiation, as this may require replacement in the near future.
Verify the current state of all tyres. While the 2022 perish issue was resolved, tyres are a common failure point for this model according to aggregate data. Ensure the vehicle has a complete record of ownership and that any previous advisories have been addressed.
The 2.0L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys, though urban driving will increase fuel consumption. As a luxury saloon, insurance groups are typically higher, and road tax will be based on the 2017 CO2 emissions bracket.
Maintenance for the 5 Series can be costly, particularly for suspension components and electronics. Expect annual running costs to be higher than a standard family car due to the premium parts required for this model.
Prioritise an inspection of the nearside front shock absorber to determine if the oil misting noted in June 2026 has progressed to a leak. Check the offside front tyre and all other tyres for signs of perishing or cracking, mirroring the failure recorded in 2022.
Referencing aggregate data for this model, specifically inspect the suspension arms for wear and test all headlamp functions, as these are among the top failure reasons for the 5 Series. A professional pre-purchase inspection is advised to check for any hidden suspension wear not yet flagged on the MOT.
This black 2017 BMW 5 Series diesel has recorded 63,910 miles as of June 2026, which is significantly lower than the model average. The MOT history is relatively clean, showing five tests with only one recorded tyre defect in 2022 and a recent advisory regarding a shock absorber. It represents a low-mileage example of a model with a respectable 87.8% aggregate pass rate.
The 5 Series maintains a solid reliability reputation with an average MOT pass rate of 87.8% across over 80,000 analysed vehicles.
