BENTLEY FLYING SPUR2017 · 4.0L Petrol

The 2017 Bentley Flying Spur presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 April 2025 at 35,327 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding four annual examinations show the same clean outcome. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the entire history, indicating the vehicle has not entered a worsening or recurring defect cycle. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a nine-year-old vehicle. Recorded distance rose from 33,711 miles at the 22 September 2021 test to 34,874 miles in September 2022, then 35,269 miles in September 2023, and 35,327 miles by April 2025. That equates to roughly 3,925 miles per year. A gap of roughly nineteen months separates the 2023 and 2025 tests, suggesting the car stood idle for extended periods rather than covering steady mileage. Given the unbroken pass record, the buyer faces no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emission concerns from the MOT data. The clean history implies previous owners maintained the car to a high standard and avoided deferred consumable replacement. Low mileage combined with long standing intervals warrants a physical check of perishable components unaffected by the test, such as tyre sidewall cracking, fluid degradation, and brake caliper seizure from disuse. A pre-purchase inspection should still confirm structural integrity beneath cladding and assess whether intermittent use masked latent wear. The DVSA record alone supports a favourable verdict, but the age and storage pattern mean in-person scrutiny of rubber, calipers, and underbody condition remains prudent before completion.
