2016 Bentley Bentayga 6.0L Petrol · FD16 UOB

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, interrupted only by a single instance of critical tyre failure in March 2020. Since that event, the vehicle has maintained a stable trend with no defects or advisories recorded across six consecutive tests, including a clean pass on 6 February 2026. This indicates a lack of chronic mechanical faults or recurring component failures over the last several years. The recorded mileage of 51,608 miles is low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,161 miles per year. Such a low rate of accumulation often indicates periods of prolonged inactivity or limited usage. Mechanically, this usage profile increases the likelihood of rubber components perishing or braking components seizing due to lack of regular operation, although no such issues have been formally noted in the MOT history. Guidance for a physical inspection should focus on the tyre health, given the 2020 failure which involved a structural tear in the offside rear tyre and tread depth below the legal limit on the nearside front. A prospective buyer should verify the current tread depths and examine all sidewalls for bulges or cracks. During the test drive, monitor for any steering pull or vibration that might suggest lingering wheel alignment issues. Given the vehicle's mass and low mileage, the braking system requires close scrutiny. Listen for any grinding noises or feel for pedal judder during braking, and check for binding calipers that can result from infrequent use. Additionally, the air suspension should be cycled through its various height settings to ensure there are no knocks, leaks, or hesitation in the system's operation.
