2007 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL6.0L Petrol

The 2007 Bentley Continental presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 October 2025 at 51,053 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only anomaly is a failed entry on 31 August 2023 at 44,387 miles carrying no recorded defects, immediately followed the same day by a pass at identical mileage, which points to an administrative or process error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 51,053 against an August 2022 reading of 41,283, giving roughly 2,687 miles per year across the vehicle's nineteen-year life. The DVSA data shows steady, low annual use: 3,104 miles between August 2022 and August 2023, then 3,609 to September 2024, and 3,057 to October 2025. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear in the supplied record, and the clean advisories across all tests suggest the previous keeper kept on top of consumables without deferring basic upkeep. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Low-mileage Continental models of this era commonly develop degraded suspension bushes and weeping damper seals through age rather than distance, and the MOT record's lack of advisories means these items were not flagged for attention. The twin-turbo W12 and its cooling hoses, plus brake calipers that may bind after long static periods, warrant physical checks the paperwork cannot confirm. Given the clean history and minimal recorded wear, structural corrosion and exhaust emissions are unlikely active risks, but a borescope and ramp inspection of subframes remains prudent on a nineteen-year-old luxury chassis. The verified record implies careful ownership; confirming fluid intervals and tyre date codes in person will close the only gaps left by the MOT data.
