BENTLEY CONTINENTAL FLYING SPUR2008 · 6.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT in January 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded at 70,948 miles. This indicates the vehicle is currently compliant with safety standards just a few months prior to today. The mileage is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging under 4,000 miles per year. While this suggests light use, it also raises the possibility of components deteriorating due to age rather than wear, particularly rubber seals and fluids that may have stagnated during long periods of inactivity. The mechanical history is largely excellent, showing a stable pattern with no failures over the last five years. However, the 2025 test flagged a specific advisory for the nearside front tyre being worn on the inner edge. This wear pattern is a strong indicator of wheel alignment issues or worn suspension geometry components rather than general driving wear. The overall trend appears stable, with the 2025 issue seemingly resolved by the time of the 2026 test. There is no evidence of worsening corrosion or structural defects in the records provided. When inspecting the car, you should prioritize checking the front suspension and steering geometry to ensure the tracking has been correctly adjusted and that no worn bushes caused the previous tyre issue.
