BENTLEY BENTAYGA2017 · 6.0L PETROL

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a clear trend of improvement following previous defects. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 72,915 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the mechanical and cosmetic issues identified in prior years have been addressed. This clean sheet in the last two tests suggests that the current owner is proactive regarding maintenance and ensuring the vehicle meets legal standards for road operation. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year over its nine-year life. Between the September 2022 test at 48,458 miles and the September 2024 test at 67,285 miles, the car covered roughly 19,000 miles, representing a steady rate of use. There is no evidence of erratic mileage accumulation or long periods of stagnation that often lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals in high-end luxury SUVs. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the wheel assemblies and suspension components given the recurring issues in the past. The 2022 test flagged an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit, while the 2023 failure noted a nearside front tyre with structural cuts in the outer wall. These entries suggest potential alignment issues or previous impact damage that should be verified today. Additionally, the 2023 failure due to a damaged and insecure central undertray requires a visual check to ensure all aerodynamic shielding is securely fastened and not causing secondary damage to the underbody or exhaust system at high speeds. The history of non-conforming registration plates noted in 2023 at 60,168 miles was a minor compliance issue rather than a mechanical risk. Since the vehicle has passed the last two tests without any advisories or failures, the structural integrity and primary braking systems appear to be well-maintained. The primary concern for a buyer remains the cost of replacing expensive tyres and the state of the air suspension components, which are the only areas showing wear in the recorded data.
