BENTLEY CONTINENTAL FLYING SPUR2007 · 6.0L PETROL

Most recent MOT outcome: The latest MOT on 3 February 2026 was a PASS at 69,587 miles with no recorded defects. This shows the car was road‑legal at the time of testing and any outstanding issues from earlier tests appear to have been remedied. Recurring mechanical pattern: Two consecutive MOTs in January 2025 each recorded a failure on the near‑side side‑repeater (indicator lamp) and on the near‑side front lower suspension arm pin/bush (excessive wear of the inner bush). The side‑repeater fault was flagged on both 7 January 2025 and 30 January 2025, while the suspension arm wear was noted on the same dates. These are the only defects appearing in the MOT record. Trend analysis: After the January 2025 failures, the vehicle passed a later test on 4 December 2023 (earlier) and again passed the most recent test in February 2026. The absence of defects in the latest MOT suggests the specific problems were addressed and the condition of the car has improved, at least as far as the MOT inspection can verify. There is no evidence of a worsening pattern beyond those isolated January 2025 failures. Mileage versus age: At 69,587 miles the Bentley is about 19 years old, giving an average of roughly 3,660 miles per year. This is well below the typical usage for a vehicle of this age, indicating either very light daily use or long periods of inactivity.
