The median sits below the average because a handful of higher recorded bids pull the average up. It describes this ended-listing sample only and is not a valuation comparable for a specific car.
Before you bid on one
- Work out a max bid for a specific BMW 5 Series lot from its damage, repair cost and resale value, first analysis free
- The BMW 5 Series passes its MOT first time in 85.3% of cases, from 73,483 real DVSA tests, above the 76.7% national average - a healthier car to start from before you add crash damage
- A typical DVSA-tested BMW 5 Series is first registered around 2016 with about 78,434 miles by its test - check a specific lot's mileage against its age before you bid
- Don't assume this pass rate sets the price - MOT reliability barely predicts salvage price across the site as a whole, and the reason why matters more than the BMW 5 Series's own number
- Confirm the write-off category, finance and stolen status for a specific car, 5 credits
- Work out whether repairing beats selling
- Search the individual lots behind these figures (currently paused, see why)
- See which factor moves salvage price the most across the whole dataset
