2004 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL6.0L Petrol

The vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile, having secured five consecutive clean MOT passes between March 2022 and February 2026. The most recent test on 23 February 2026 at 114,140 miles recorded no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical systems have been maintained to a high standard. This absence of recurring failures suggests a proactive approach to servicing rather than a reactive one, which is essential for a complex vehicle of this vintage. With an average annual accumulation of approximately 5,188 miles over its twenty-two-year lifespan, the vehicle has seen light usage. The MOT data confirms a consistent pattern of low-mileage accumulation, with only 1,216 miles added between the March 2022 test and the February 2026 inspection. While this low usage often preserves the drivetrain, it can also lead to the deterioration of rubber components, seals, and fluids if the car remains stationary for extended periods. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that do not typically appear on MOT records, specifically the condition of the air suspension system and the integrity of the hydraulic lines. Given the age of the vehicle, check for signs of perished rubber bushes and fluid leaks from the engine or transmission, as these items may not trigger an MOT failure until they become severe. Inspect the underside for any evidence of corrosion on the subframes, as the clean MOT history confirms the structural integrity is currently sound but does not account for cosmetic or non-testable mechanical wear common in older luxury vehicles.
