BENTLEY CONTINENTAL FLYING SPUR A2006 · 6.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2025-07-03 resulted in a pass at 72,105 miles, with no defects recorded . However, a failure was recorded just 24 days earlier on 2025-06-09 at 72,081 miles, also with no defects listed . This suggests an unusual discrepancy—either a procedural error, a minor technicality, or a temporary issue resolved between tests. The lack of defects in both cases implies no immediate safety risks, but the failure raises questions about the vehicle’s compliance status during that period. The MOT history from 2021 to 2023 shows consistent passes with no defects, indicating a stable condition over the previous 18 months. The 2025 failure appears isolated, though its cause remains unclear without further details. No recurring mechanical patterns are evident from the data provided, and the absence of defects in most tests suggests the vehicle has not shown significant deterioration. The recorded mileage of 72,105 miles for a 20-year-old vehicle is low (around 3,605 miles per year). This could indicate light use, infrequent driving, or prolonged periods of inactivity. While lower mileage often correlates with less wear on components like brakes and suspension, it may also point to potential issues from long-term storage, such as degraded fluids, battery weakness, or corrosion.
