2013 Bentley Mulsanne 6.8L Petrol · FGW 1

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-01-16 at 13,811 miles showing no defects and a clean pass. The maintenance trend is stable and consistently strong—five consecutive passes since 2021, all with zero recorded defects, indicating disciplined upkeep and absence of emerging mechanical or safety concerns. There is no evidence of deterioration in braking, lighting, steering, suspension, or emissions systems across the full span of recorded tests. Mileage accumulation has been exceptionally low and steady: just 33 miles between the 2025-01-31 and 2026-01-16 tests, 44 miles between 2024-02-07 and 2025-01-31, and 29 miles between the 2022-01-14 and 2024-02-07 tests—a gap of over two years with only 31 miles added. This suggests prolonged periods of minimal use or storage, which carries its own risks: rubber components like suspension bushes, brake hoses, and tyre sidewalls may have aged beyond their functional lifespan regardless of tread depth or visible cracking. The car’s average of under 1,100 miles per year over 13 years is far below typical usage for even a low-mileage luxury saloon. A buyer must inspect condition-critical items that degrade with time rather than use. Focus on the integrity of rubber suspension bushings, anti-roll bar links, and engine/transmission mounts—these often harden or split silently. Brake calipers should be checked for binding or seizing, especially given the long intervals between movement; discs may show uneven wear or pitting from static corrosion. Tyres require close scrutiny for dry-rot, internal cracking, and date codes—even if tread depth is legal, any tyre older than ten years should be replaced as a matter of safety. Also verify coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid service history, as these are rarely changed on ultra-low-mileage Bentleys despite strict DVSA recommendations.
