BENTLEY CONTINENTAL FLYING SPUR2005 · 6.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT (27 August 2025) was a clean pass at 23,237 mi with no recorded defects. The previous year’s test (15 August 2024) was also a clean pass, again at essentially the same mileage, indicating no new faults have been flagged in the last two years. A recurring issue appears in the front brakes. Both the 2023 (22,363 mi) and 2022 (21,841 mi) MOTs noted front brake discs that were worn, pitted or scored, though not yet weakened to the point of failure. No further comment was made in the 2024 or 2025 tests, suggesting the condition may have stabilised or the discs were replaced, but the pattern signals that the front braking system should be inspected closely. Tyre wear shows a similar trend. In 2022 the near‑side and off‑side front tyres were reported as “slightly damaged/cracking or perishing,” and in 2021 a tyre on each side was flagged with the same comment. No tyre comments appear in the 2023‑2025 records, which could mean the tyres were replaced or the condition improved. Nevertheless, the history indicates that tyre ageing has been an issue and the current tyre set should be checked for any hidden cracking or sidewall damage. The mileage figure is unusually low for a 2005 vehicle – about 1,100 mi per year on average.
