2016 Bentley Continental 6.0L Petrol · AF57 EVE

The MOT record shows a consistently clean roadworthiness status across every test, with the most recent pass on 27 March 2026 at 39,071 miles recording no defects at all. This is a stable and unusually strong maintenance trend. A Bentley of this age or mileage would frequently attract at least minor advisories around suspension bush deterioration, brake disc corrosion, or tyre perishing, so the total absence of any recorded faults in each of the five tests points to a car that has been actively maintained rather than merely presented for inspection. The mileage pattern is modest and consistent. The car covered 26,212 miles by 13 January 2022 and then accumulated roughly 12,859 miles over the following four years, which is about 3,200 miles per year. No test shows a suspiciously large jump in mileage, and the annual increments are regular, which suggests the vehicle has been used steadily rather than left standing for long periods. That said, a ten-year-old car averaging under 4,000 miles per year will still suffer from age-related degradation of rubber components, even if the recorded miles are low. Because the DVSA history lists no defects on any test, there are no recurring mechanical faults to track. The buyer should still arrange an independent inspection concentrating on items that deteriorate with time rather than mileage: suspension bushes and ball joints, brake caliper slider pins and disc faces for corrosion, and the condition of the tyres for cracking or flat-spotting. The coolant hoses and auxiliary belts also deserve attention on a low-use, high-value vehicle of this age. The absence of advisories is encouraging, but the MOT record alone cannot verify service history, so evidence of regular oil and filter changes remains essential before purchase.
