BENTLEY CONTINENTAL2011 · 6.0L PETROL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 with no defects recorded, indicating it is currently roadworthy. Prior to this pass, the car failed a test in November 2025 solely due to an inoperative reversing lamp, which is a minor electrical issue that was clearly resolved quickly. The history shows a clean record back to 2022 with no advisories or mechanical failures, suggesting the car has been well-maintained and reliable. The mechanical trend appears stable rather than worsening, as the only recorded failure was trivial and did not relate to safety-critical systems like brakes or suspension. With 70,932 miles recorded over roughly 15 years, the average annual mileage is low at approximately 4,700 miles. While this low usage implies reduced wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to deterioration caused by ageing rather than use, particularly in rubber components and fluids. Because the mileage is low, the main risk pattern involves age-related degradation rather than heavy mechanical wear. You should inspect the tyres closely for cracks or perishing, as they may be old despite having adequate tread depth. Check all rubber coolant hoses and drive belts for signs of hardening or splits, as these degrade over time regardless of how far the car has travelled. Finally, verify the service history to ensure regular fluid changes have been maintained, as low mileage vehicles can suffer from oil contamination if left sitting for long periods.
