Our Verdict
This is a strongly recommended purchase for buyers seeking a low-mileage luxury grand tourer with an exemplary test history. The consistent clean MOT passes and minimal annual usage suggest a well-cared-for 2018 Bentley Continental GT in white with the 6.0-litre petrol engine.
Given the spotless MOT record, focus your negotiation on service history rather than rectification of faults, as no advisories or failures appear in the supplied data. Confirm the white paintwork and 6.0-litre W12 (or equivalent) engine match the V5C and request main-dealer or specialist Bentley service stamps to validate the low mileage of 6,636 at last test. Because no aggregate model reliability data is available, lean on a pre-purchase inspection by a Bentley specialist to assess age-related items not captured by MOT, such as suspension bushings and electrical systems.
As a 5,950cc petrol model first registered in July 2018, this Continental GT will sit in a high VED band and command a steep insurance group befitting a luxury performance coupe. Fuel economy will be poor relative to smaller cars due to the large displacement engine, and maintenance must be carried out by marque specialists at premium rates. Estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance and typical maintenance is likely in the region of £6,000-£9,000 given the engine size and luxury status.
The MOT history shows no failure types of concern, with every test from 971 miles in 2021 to 6,636 miles in 2024 returning a pass and no defects, so no specific failure-driven checks are warranted from the data. Nonetheless, inspect the white bodywork for parking damage and verify the 6.0-litre engine bay for fluid leaks, as low annual mileage (under 2,000 miles in most years) can mask infrequent use issues like flat spots on tyres or flat battery. A specialist inspection should also confirm the odometer reading aligns with the supplied MOT mileages and that the July 2018 registration documentation is consistent with the vehicle presented.
The vehicle shows just four MOT tests between 2021 and 2024, all passed with no defects recorded and no failures at any point. Recorded mileage is exceptionally low for a 2018 car, rising from 971 miles in 2021 to 6,636 miles by December 2024. As a 5,950cc petrol Bentley, it carries significant running costs but the condition data provides reassurance on mechanical and structural integrity.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Bentley Continental GT, so condition must be judged on this vehicle's individual history.
