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 often load a pushchair, dog or bulky bags: an estate layout could be useful. Try your own luggage rather than judging by the exterior size.
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 140,000 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.
Most 2016 5 Series estates use BMW's later 2.0-litre diesel engines and have DPF/EGR systems — these are fine if the car has regular longer runs. A manual car is less common than automatics in higher-spec 5s and will have a conventional clutch (and often a dual-mass flywheel) so clutch replacement can be an expensive job if due.
- DPF regeneration history and signs of frequent short-trip blockage (soot smell, forced regen events)
- EGR/intake soot build-up and any black smoke or loss of power under load
- Clutch operation and dual-mass flywheel (slip, judder, high biting point or rattles on engagement)
- Turbocharger for shaft play and oil leaks; check for smoke under acceleration
- Rear suspension and springs for sag or wear if the car has been used for towing; check underbody and rear-arch areas for corrosion
