Our database tracks 4 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Average

Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: BMW M5
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Rod Bearing Wear / Throttle Actuator Failure(Serious)
The V10 E60/E61 M5 is notorious for rod-bearing wear and failing throttle actuators. Both can turn a cheap-looking car into a huge engine bill.
- SMG / DCT / Transmission Heat Stress(Serious)
Fast M5s punish transmissions. E60 SMG hydraulic components, F10 DCT heat stress, and even later automatic driveline components all suffer if the car has been launched repeatedly.
