2007 Bentley Continental 6.0L Petrol · AA04 AKA

The vehicle has passed its most recent MOT test on 2026-05-22 at 76,699 miles, with only a minor defect noted: the outer side repeater lens is missing. However, it failed the previous test on 2026-05-19 due to the same missing repeater lens and an exhaust leak affecting emissions. The overall maintenance trend shows some instability, particularly concerning the exhaust system, which has been flagged as noisy in previous tests. The vehicle's mileage of 76,699 miles over approximately 19 years equates to around 4,037 miles per year, indicating relatively light use. This low mileage suggests that the vehicle may have spent considerable time unused or driven infrequently, which could explain the absence of significant wear on consumables and major mechanical components. Notably, there is a significant gap between the 2024-07-27 test at 120,966 miles and the 2025-03-22 test at 122,004 miles, followed by another large gap until the 2026 tests at 76,697 and 76,699 miles. This irregular testing pattern might indicate inconsistent maintenance practices or periods of non-use. A potential buyer should inspect the exhaust system closely for signs of leaks or corrosion, as it has been a recurring issue. Additionally, given the missing outer side repeater lens, the lighting system should be thoroughly checked for any other missing or damaged components. The low mileage suggests that suspension bushes, steering components, and brake pads may still be in good condition, but these areas should still be visually inspected for any unusual wear or damage. Structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body panels, should also be evaluated for any signs of rust or corrosion, as this can be a common issue in older vehicles, even with low mileage.
