BENTLEY CONTINENTAL FLYING SPUR A2006 · 6.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 6 May 2026 was a Pass at 84,297 mi, so the car is currently road‑legal. The only other MOT entries that failed (April 2026 and March 2025) recorded no defects, which suggests the failures were administrative – for example the test was taken after the previous MOT had expired – rather than driven by any identified mechanical fault. Across the four‑year span the pattern is essentially clean: three Passes and two Failures, but every test shows “no defects”. There is no evidence of a growing problem with brakes, suspension, emissions or safety‑critical components. The trend therefore appears stable, not worsening. At 84,300 mi for a 20‑year‑old Bentley the mileage is very low – about 4,200 mi per year. This could mean the car has been driven lightly, which generally reduces wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and clutch. Conversely, prolonged periods of inactivity can allow seals, gaskets and rubber components to dry out, potentially leading to leaks or cracking when the car is finally used. Because the mileage signal is ambiguous, the buyer should treat both possibilities as plausible. The key things to check in person are: - Inspect the suspension and steering for any play, leaks or worn bushings.
