2004 Bentley Continental 6.0L Petrol · 737 DJH

The 2004 Bentley Continental presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 March 2026 at 35,695 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a 22-year-old vehicle. The odometer climbed from 34,117 miles at the 8 March 2022 test to 35,695 miles by March 2026, a total of just 1,578 miles across four years, averaging under 400 miles annually. The DVSA data contains no gaps or sudden accumulation spikes; every annual test is present and each shows negligible year-on-year distance. Such low throughput suggests prolonged standing periods rather than regular daily driving. A clean advisory sheet across all five entries means the tester flagged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, binding calipers, or exhaust faults at any stage. That said, a car of this age and low movement still demands physical inspection of components the MOT may not expose when usage is minimal. Dormant rubber bushings, brake disc face corrosion from standing, and perishing seals are typical on Continental models left idle. The buyer should commission an independent pre-purchase check focused on underbody structural integrity, brake disc condition after limited use, and suspension articulation. The documented history implies a fastidious keeper who avoided consumable neglect, but the record alone cannot certify hidden age-related degradation on a vehicle that has covered barely 1,600 miles per year.
