Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
- You would prefer less gear changing in traffic: the recorded automatic transmission may suit. Try how this exact gearbox behaves on a test drive.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 10 years old and 175,801 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
- You need servicing to fit a tight budget: Spanner estimates higher maintenance costs for this type. Get quotes for the exact engine and gearbox before committing.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
This is the F10-generation 5 Series sedan; common diesel choices in Ireland include the 520d and 525d/530d — fuel economy and running costs vary a lot between those engines. Diesel 5s of this era use a ZF 8-speed automatic on most trims — it needs occasional fluid/valve-body servicing to stay smooth. Also check whether the car has SCR/AdBlue (some Euro6 diesels do) and be aware of DPF/EGR carbon issues if the car has mostly short, urban trips.
- DPF and EGR condition: ask for evidence of regular long runs or recent successful regen, and check for limp-mode or warning-history related to DPF
- Automatic gearbox service history: confirm torque-converter/gearbox fluid changes and test for smooth up/down shifts and no hesitation under acceleration
- Turbo and oil condition: look for turbo shaft play, oil leaks around the turbo/oil-filter housing and any blue/black smoke on hard acceleration
- Timing-chain history (engine-dependent): if it's an older N47 2.0 diesel ask specifically for timing-chain/tensioner records; later B47 engines (post-2014) are less prone but still check service history
- Rear subframe/suspension wear and underbody: check for worn rear bushes, creaks over bumps and any corrosion around trailing arms and rear subframe mounts
