2009 BENTLEY ARNAGE6.8L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 12 August 2025 at 42,645 miles returned no defects or advisories. This stable trend over the last five years suggests that the car has been maintained to a high standard without the recurring mechanical or structural failures typical of vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old luxury vehicle, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. Between September 2020 and April 2022, the car covered only 159 miles, indicating long periods of being left stationary or very limited use. The recent increase of 1,533 miles between July 2024 and August 2025 shows a slight uptick in usage but remains significantly low. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, such infrequent use often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemical breakdown. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than mileage. The complex air suspension system, including rubber bellows and air dampers, must be checked for cracking or perish, as these components often fail when sitting idle. Brake calipers should be tested for seized pistons or corrosion due to the lack of heat cycles to keep the assembly clean. Additionally, the chassis should be inspected for structural rust, although the clean MOT history suggests no significant issues with the integrity of the frame to date.
