BENTLEY ARNAGE2001 · 6.8L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean pass record across the last five inspections. The most recent test in October 2025 at 21,906 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This consistency suggests that the Arnage has been maintained to a standard that avoids the mechanical degradation or structural failures typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-five-year-, averaging approximately 876 miles per year. Between October 2021 and September 2022, the car covered only 85 miles, suggesting long periods of dormancy. However, there is a notable increase in usage since 2022, with the vehicle covering 3,439 miles in the following year and another 4,794 miles leading into the 2025 test. This recent increase in activity is beneficial for the drivetrain and suspension components, as it prevents the seizing and corrosion often associated with stationary vehicles. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must address the specific risks associated with low-mileage, long-term storage. Rubber components such as suspension bushes, axle seals, and engine hoses are prone to cracking and perishation regardless of mileage. The inspector should specifically check the brakes for surface pitting and seized calipers, as infrequent use often leads to uneven wear on the rotors. Furthermore, the structural integrity of the chassis should be verified for hidden corrosion, as the MOT test only identifies visible rust that compromises safety.
