BMW 528 Common Problems & Reliability
Based on 192 MOT tests from 11 vehicles analysed by VehicleScore. The figures below describe that VehicleScore sample. Recurring issues seen in VehicleScore MOT data are not a claim that every BMW 528 has the same fault.
BMW 528's have a slightly over average reliability rating of 501/999. The score was calculated from the average of every BMW 528 that has had a registered MOT.
We calculated all of the below figures by getting the score from each vehicle make/model/year/fuel, which are each calculated a score. We then generate the average score, taking into account factors such as mileage and emissions.

Based on 192 MOT tests from 11 vehicles analysed by VehicleScore. That sample is too small to describe recurring problems, so this page does not list model-specific faults.
BMW 528 MOT reliability by year
A model year is only commented on when VehicleScore has at least 5 vehicles from that year.
Not enough VehicleScore data for year-by-year conclusions.
Buying a BMW 528?
Common problems tell you what can affect BMW 528s generally. VehicleScore can check the history of the actual car you're considering.
Where does this data come from?
VehicleScore analyses MOT histories from vehicles in its own dataset. Sample sizes vary by model, and a small sample is labelled as such. MOT data records roadworthiness and inspection defects. It does not capture every mechanical or electronic problem a car can have, and a comment on one test is not proof that the model has an inherent fault.
