What to know
No 5 Series-specific figure was available in the dataset used across this site, so BMW's overall brand average of 79.3% is shown instead.
Like many executive saloons, the 5 Series has historically covered high annual mileages as a business and company car, which is worth factoring in specifically: a lower-than-average mileage example of this model is a genuinely useful positive signal, and it's worth checking the mileage pattern across a car's MOT history rather than just the current reading.
