Our Verdict
This 2018 Bentley Bentayga in black with the 4.0-litre petrol engine is a strong used buy thanks to a clean MOT record and sensible mileage. The only minor note is a nail in the near-side rear tyre flagged at the most recent test, which is easily resolved.
Given the clean MOT record, focus your negotiation on the condition of consumables and proof of main-dealer or specialist servicing, which is essential on a Bentley of this value. The 2026 advisory for a nail in the near-side rear tyre should be confirmed as repaired or the tyre replaced before purchase, and you should check the remaining three tyres for even wear. As no model aggregate data exists, insist on a full service history and consider an independent pre-purchase inspection by a Bentley specialist to verify the 3996cc petrol engine and air suspension.
As a 3996cc petrol Bentley, this Bentayga will sit in a high VED band and carry a high insurance group, with real-world fuel economy likely in the low 20s mpg given the engine size and weight. Routine maintenance must be carried out by marque specialists and will be considerably more expensive than mainstream SUVs, with major services costing several thousand pounds. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and typical maintenance are likely in the region of £6,000 to £9,000 depending on mileage and usage.
The MOT history shows only one advisory across five years, a nail in the near-side rear tyre at the 2026 test, so physically check that tyre and the others for damage, tread depth and age-related cracking. With no recorded MOT failures, there is no evidence of structural or mechanical defects, but you should still inspect the 4.0-litre petrol engine for oil leaks, the brake discs for wear given the vehicle's 2.1-tonne mass, and the air suspension for any warning lights. A black paint finish should be examined under bright light for stone chips and swirl marks, as correction on a Bentley body panel is costly.
The vehicle has covered 51,052 miles since its June 2018 first registration, averaging roughly 6,400 miles per year which is modest for a luxury SUV of this type. MOT history shows five consecutive passes from 2022 to 2026 with no failures and only a nail-in-tyre advisory on the latest test. With no aggregate reliability data available for the Bentayga, the individual history is the best indicator and it points to a well-kept example.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Bentley Bentayga, so this individual vehicle's clean test history is the only reliability evidence on file.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: BENTLEY BENTAYGA
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Carbon Build-up (GDI Coking)(Moderate)
Direct injection leads to carbon deposits on intake valves, reducing performance and fuel economy.
- Fuel Leak Recall(Serious)
Early V8 models were subject to a recall for a potential fuel leak from the fuel line quick connector.
- Infotainment and Electrical Glitches(Moderate)
The Bentayga's complex electronics, including the infotainment touchscreen, parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control, are prone to software bugs and random reboots. Moisture ingress into wiring can cause cascading electrical failures.
