BENTLEY CONTINENTAL2011 · 6.0L Petrol

The Bentley Continental presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 2026-02-02 at 116,307 miles which recorded no defects. Prior tests on 2025-02-12 at 112,671 miles, 2024-02-23 at 109,459 miles, 2023-02-28 at 104,699 miles, and 2022-09-14 at 102,966 miles all passed with no advisories. The vehicle shows no recurring mechanical faults, corrosion issues, or consumable neglect across the five-year record. Annual mileage averages roughly 7,754 miles against the car's 2011 build date, a typical use pattern for a 15-year-old vehicle. The record shows consistent yearly testing from February 2023 onward, with a single earlier entry from September 2022. Distance covered between tests stays narrow, from 1,733 miles in the 2022 to 2023 period up to 4,178 miles by 2026. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the data. The clean advisory history suggests the previous keeper addressed wear before each test rather than letting items reach failure. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and 116,307 miles. The MOT record flags none of these, but W12-engined Continentals of this era commonly develop air suspension leaks and corroded subframe mounts unseen in a road test. Drivetrain mounts and exhaust emissions hardware warrant physical checks. Verify service books against the recorded mileages, as the DVSA data confirms only test outcomes, not interim maintenance. The absence of advisories over five tests implies disciplined ownership, yet standing periods between low-mileage use can hide perished tyres or binding calipers that a static inspection will reveal.
