BENTLEY TURBO1996 · 6.8L Petrol

The 1996 Bentley Turbo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 July 2025 at 26,689 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass on 14 August 2024 at 26,651 miles confirms no outstanding advisories across the last two cycles. Recorded mileage sits at 26,689 against roughly thirty years of age, equating to near 890 miles per year. The sequence shows minimal annual use: 26,622 miles in August 2023, 26,647 by 5 August 2024, 26,651 nine days later, and 26,689 by July 2025. One anomaly appears in the 12 August 2022 entry listing 266,509 miles, which is inconsistent with the surrounding figures and reads as a data-recording error rather than genuine accumulation. The failed test on 5 August 2024 at 26,647 miles carries no defects, suggesting an administrative or presentational failure rather than a mechanical fault, with a pass secured on 14 August 2024. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the vehicle's low standing mileage, which encourages perished rubber and seized components. The clean MOT record offers no flagged corrosion or exhaust issues, but thirty-year-old structural integrity around subframes and sills warrants visual checks for hidden rust. The absence of recurring advisories implies previous keepers maintained basic statutory compliance, though the 2022 mileage discrepancy means verifying true odometer history is prudent before purchase.
