How the BMW 5 SERIES compares

The BMW 5 SERIES has an MOT pass rate of 100.0% on MOTindex, against 82.4% across all BMW vehicles checked here, and 84.5% across every make on the site. These are small samples, not a national survey, so read the comparison as a starting point rather than a verdict on the model.

Common BMW 5 SERIES defects

Brakes 1 (16.7%)
Visibility 1 (16.7%)
Axles, wheels, tyres and suspension 1 (16.7%)

A test can find problems in more than one category, so these figures do not sum to 100%. See the site-wide common failures breakdown for how this is worked out.

Figures describe BMW 5 SERIES vehicles looked up on MOTindex, not all BMW 5 SERIES vehicles on UK roads. Pass rate counts every recorded MOT test for those vehicles, retests included. Some MOT records describe the same model with extra trim or engine detail attached; where that detail is a recognised trim or drivetrain code, the vehicle is counted under the base model shown here rather than treated as a separate one.
