Is 151k high mileage for a BMW?

I'm looking at a 2011 5 series sport BMW. But I'm worried about the milage it's 151,000 miles. Do you think it's way to high and would come with problems. It's has a new nct

Our answer:

Hi Pamela,

Never mind the NCT, what about the history? An NCT is all well and good, but if a car has high miles (and 151,000km for a six-year-old car isn’t massively high, but high-ish) then it has to have a fully-stamped up service book, and preferably a full main dealer BMW service history. These are complex cars, but they can easily cover big miles if properly looked after. Don’t accept anything less than immaculate.
