Our Verdict
This BMW 5 Series represents a solid pro
When inspecting this vehicle, focus your attention on the condition of the tyres and brakes, as these have been the primary areas of concern in its MOT history. Ensure that the tyres are of a reputable brand and have sufficient tread depth, as the vehicle has previously failed due to tyre wear and structural damage.
Verify the service history to ensure that the 3.0-litre diesel engine has been maintained according to BMW's schedule. Given the vehicle's mileage, check for any signs of uneven tyre wear which could indicate alignment issues, and confirm that the brake discs—noted as worn in the most recent test—have been addressed or factored into the asking price.
As a 3.0-litre diesel, this 5 Series is designed for long-distance efficiency, though tax and insurance costs will be at the higher end of the spectrum for this class. You should budget for premium tyres, as the vehicle's weight and performance require high-quality rubber to avoid the premature wear issues noted in previous MOTs.
Routine maintenance for a 5 Series of this age can be significant; ensure you have a contingency fund for potential suspension or sensor-related repairs. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, insurance, tax, and servicing, are approximately £2,200–£2,600 depending on your annual mileage and driving style.
Begin your inspection by checking the sidewalls of all four tyres for any signs of bulging or uneven wear, as the 2023 MOT failure specifically highlighted a structural failure in a tyre. Examine the front brake discs, which were flagged as worn in the February 2026 test, to determine if they require immediate replacement.
Beyond the MOT-specific items, inspect the vehicle for any warning lights on the dashboard, particularly those related to the braking or tyre pressure monitoring systems. Check the suspension components for any signs of knocking or play, as suspension arms are a common failure point for this model according to aggregate data.
Registered in September 2017, this blue 2993cc diesel BMW 5 Series has covered 69,407 miles. Its MOT history shows a period of neglect regarding tyre maintenance in early 2023, but the vehicle has successfully passed its last two annual tests with no defects recorded. Overall, the vehicle shows a consistent pattern of use and maintenance that aligns with its age and mileage.
The BMW 5 Series generally performs well in MOT testing, with an aggregate pass rate of 87.8% across the fleet, though tyre and suspension issues remain the most frequent reasons for failure.
