Our Verdict
A high-specification example of a luxury SUV with a remarkably clean MOT record, though the running costs of the 4.0L diesel engine require careful financial consideration.
When purchasing a diesel Bentayga, the priority must be the full service history. Given the MOT records show no mechanical failures, you must verify that the vehicle has adhered to Bentley's strict service intervals to protect the complex V8 engine and air suspension system. Check for any signs of oil leaks around the turbochargers, which can be expensive to rectify if left unaddressed.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and the condition of the brake discs; a vehicle of this weight puts significant strain on consumables compared to a standard car. Ensure all electronic features—from the massaging seats to the adaptive cruise control—operate flawlessly, as repair costs for Bentley-specific electronics are disproportionately high compared to mainstream market vehicles.

Common Problems: BENTLEY BENTAYGA
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Carbon Build-up (GDI Coking)(Moderate)
Direct injection leads to carbon deposits on intake valves, reducing performance and fuel economy.
