GRA 1 MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Bentley Continental (GRA 1) between December 2008 and November 2025.
The record contains 18 passes and 4 failures.
The most recent test on 24 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (9 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 10 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn rear arm (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Inner Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure edge (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Centre Stop lamp not working (1.2.1b)”.
