How we estimate prices and check cars

Price

Far below the going rate: £8,298 (58%) under the AskCar estimate of £14,198. Worth asking the dealer why.

The AskCar estimate is our expected asking price for this car. It uses UK dealer asking prices, accounting for make, model, trim, version, age, mileage, fuel, gearbox, body type, driven wheels, engine size and power. It is an advertised price, not a confirmed sale price.

It draws on 2,730 priced BMW 5 Series adverts across different ages and specifications, as of 7 November 2026.

Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 7 November 2026: valid until 10 December 2026.

It failed its MOT on 6 December 2025 (nearside rear coil spring fractured or broken) and passed 5 days later, on 11 December 2025.

Advisories at the latest test: tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge all 4; nearside front suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement; offside front suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement; and 2 more.

Mileage at that test: 122,511 miles. The advert says 10,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.

Advertised mileage is about 82,000 miles lower than the median mileage of a 2012 BMW 5 Series on AskCar.
