BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT2016 · 4.0L Petrol

The 2016 Bentley Continental GT presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 12,789 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of passes with zero advisories. This consistent history shows no worsening or recurring mechanical faults across the inspected period. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 10,672 miles at the 23 August 2021 test, rising to 11,005 miles by 10 August 2022, 11,494 miles by 7 August 2023, 11,932 miles by 28 August 2024, and 12,789 miles by the 2025 test. Annual accumulation averaged roughly 280 miles across these entries, well below the 1,279 miles per year implied by total mileage. Such low progression suggests long stationary periods rather than steady road use. A clean MOT ledger with no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion means the official record gives no direct cause for concern. However, the very low mileage and likely extended idle time warrant in-person checks the test does not capture. Dormant storage typically degrades tyres through sidewall cracking, flat-spots, and hardened rubber even when tread passes. Brake calipers may seize from disuse, and fluid absorption in the hydraulic system goes unchecked over long gaps. The buyer should commission an independent inspection of underbody corrosion, suspension articulation, and brake binding before purchase. Verify service intervals were kept despite the low miles, as Bentley scheduled maintenance is time as well as mileage based. The MOT proves legal compliance, not mechanical vitality after standing.
