Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Many journeys are local or relatively short: petrol can fit that use without choosing diesel just for occasional long trips.
- 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 room for several children or extra passengers: the seat count is not recorded. Confirm this exact version's seats and child-seat fit; do not assume from the model name.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 10 years old and 77,998 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 2016 BMW 5 Series saloon is the F10 generation (pre-G30) and a petrol automatic will most commonly be the 2.0 turbo four or the 3.0 six and use BMW’s ZF 8-speed automatic. Petrol engines avoid diesel DPF/EGR issues but some 2.0‑litre N20 engines from this era have reported timing-chain/tensioner wear — check which engine you’re buying. The gearbox is generally robust but needs documented fluid/service history; running costs and dealer parts are higher than mainstream brands.
- Timing‑chain noise or service history for the 2.0 petrol (N20): listen for rattles on cold start and ask for any timing‑chain/tensioner work.
- Automatic gearbox behaviour and service history: look for smooth, fast shifts and a record of transmission fluid/filter service.
- Visible oil leaks around valve‑cover/ oil‑filter housing and signs of oil consumption on dipstick.
- Suspension and steering play: check for front/rear bush wear, clunks over bumps and uneven tyre wear (linked to subframe/suspension wear).
- Tyre condition and age, and brake discs/pads for even wear — 10‑year vehicles often need fresh tyres even if tread remains.
