BENTLEY CONTINENTAL2005 · 6.0L Petrol

The 2005 Bentley Continental presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 December 2025 at 78,003 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes from December 2021 through to the present date. Recorded mileage stands at 78,003 against an age of roughly 21 years, equating to about 3,714 miles per year. The DVSA data shows gentle, consistent accumulation: 67,465 miles in December 2021, rising to 71,491 by December 2022, 74,001 in December 2023, 75,698 in November 2024, and 78,003 in December 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. Such low annual use over two decades implies long stationary periods, though the clean test history gives no evidence of neglect in the official record. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Low mileage and standing time on a Continental of this era commonly conceal perished suspension bushes, degraded coil springs, and corroded brake discs or binding calipers that a visual MOT check may not flag until failure. Damp storage can also promote structural corrosion beneath arch liners and sills despite absent advisories. The absence of any recorded advisories across five tests suggests the previous keeper addressed wear proactively. Verify service invoices to confirm scheduled cambelt, fluid, and tyre renewal, as consumables degrade with age irrespective of miles covered.
