BENTLEY S21962 · 6.2L PETROL

OVERALL VERDICT: The most recent MOT was passed on 19 April 2006 with no defects recorded at 79,788 miles. With no subsequent MOT records available beyond that date, there is no evidence of maintenance activity or condition changes over the last 20 years. The overall maintenance trend cannot be assessed as stable, worsening, or improving due to the absence of any later test data. MILEAGE & WEAR PROFILE: The vehicle has accumulated 79,788 miles over approximately 64 years, averaging just 1,247 miles annually, which is exceptionally low. This suggests minimal road use, potentially long-term storage, or very light ownership. While low mileage typically reduces wear on brakes, suspension, and drivetrain components, it increases the risk of rubber degradation, fluid stagnation, corrosion in fuel and brake systems, and battery failure due to inactivity. The lack of any MOT after 2006 means there is no record of condition changes during the subsequent two decades. CRITICAL IN-PERSON CHECKS: A buyer must inspect for corrosion on chassis rails, suspension mounts, and exhaust system due to prolonged inactivity. Check for cracked or perished rubber suspension bushes, brake hoses, and fuel lines. Test for brake fluid contamination and binding calipers by attempting to rotate wheels freely after the handbrake is released. Examine the condition of the fuel tank and carburettor for varnish or sediment buildup. Verify that all electrical systems, including lights and ignition components, function after prolonged disuse. Confirm the engine turns over without seizure and that coolant and oil are not degraded or contaminated. Structural integrity of the body and floor pans must be assessed for hidden rust, particularly around wheel arches and sills.
