BENTLEY CONTINENTAL2010 · 6.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a clean MOT history spanning the last three annual tests, indicating a stable and well maintained mechanical condition. The tester recorded no advisories or failures during the November 2025 examination at 84,870 miles, following identical clean passes in December 2024 and July 2024. This consistent pass rate demonstrates that previous upkeep has addressed earlier suspension wear without allowing degradation to escalate into a failure. The absence of repeat defects across multiple examinations confirms that the chassis, steering linkages, and braking systems currently meet DVSA standards. The most recent test occurred seven months prior to the current June 2026 date, leaving a narrow window before the next mandatory inspection. The recorded mileage progression shows an average annual run of approximately 5,304 miles, which sits well below typical usage for a sixteen year old grand tourer. The official DVSA log records a significant reduction from 112,922 miles in May 2022 down to 80,962 miles by May 2023. This reversal requires verification against service documentation, as odometer discrepancies or digital cluster resets can occur in high value vehicles. Excluding this anomaly, the interval between July 2024 and November 2025 covers just over 3,039 miles in sixteen months, confirming light recent usage rather than intensive driving. The current figure remains low overall, but the gap between the 2022 and 2023 entries warrants careful scrutiny before purchase. Prior to acquisition, you should commission a pre purchase inspection focused on the offside front upper suspension arm and rear anti roll bar bushes identified in the May 2023 test. Although these components passed subsequent examinations, worn polyurethane or rubber bushes on heavy luxury coupes often develop play under load, so checking for lateral wheel shimmy and listening for knocks over uneven surfaces remains essential. Verify the condition of the coil springs and damper seals, as weight distribution on a Continental GT places sustained stress on the front axle geometry. A thorough visual check of the exhaust system for heat discoloration and a brake line pressure gauge reading ensures the calipers release fully without binding. Review all manufacturer service records alongside the MOT file to reconcile the mileage timeline and validate continuous fluid changes.
