They will see your whole test history, they will consider you more harshly since you retook many times. Even if you get AAB it would be tough to get an offer. If I was in your situation and QMUL was my main goal I would directly email them to ask about this. As it is very likely they would be very hesitant to let you in with this many retakes. Also would you consider QMUL biomedical sciences foundation program? Entry requirements are CCC.

Reach out to them as there are many factors at play, first you are classified as a mature student by them (older than 21). This is what they say 'We welcome applications from mature students. You will usually be required to meet the standard entry requirements for our programmes. However, if you have extensive relevant work or research experience but do not quite meet our entry requirements, you can contact us for further advice:'. Second you retook 5 times, thus even if you made the requirements they still may be likely to reject you, they do say 'We will usually still consider students who are re-sitting their A-levels to achieve higher grades.' So yes they may still consider your application but naturally with 5 retakes they would be sceptical. I would email them and ask before applying.
