2016 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL4.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a highly stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 16 July 2026. The latest inspection at 32,803 miles recorded no defects, following three consecutive years of clean passes without advisories. This recent trend suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained or has undergone sufficient upkeep to meet MOT standards without remedial work required for mechanical or structural components. The mileage pattern indicates very low usage for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 3,280 miles per year. The record shows consistent, incremental growth, moving from 20,904 miles in March 2019 to 32,803 miles in July 2026. While the low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the relatively infrequent use can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as perished rubber components or fluid degradation. The data shows no significant gaps in testing, with annual inspections occurring predictably between 2021 and 2026. Historical records show minor issues related to consumable wear and basic adjustments rather than mechanical failure. In March 2019, the vehicle failed due to rear tyre tread depths falling below the 1.6mm legal limit, and the March 2020 test flagged low front tyre tread. These failures suggest a pattern of driving until consumables reached their limit rather than proactive replacement. A failure in July 2022 regarding headlamp aim was resolved immediately, indicating a minor adjustment rather than a component fault. A prospective buyer should focus on inspecting rubber components, such as suspension bushes and engine mounts, which can perish when a vehicle is driven sparingly. Given the low mileage, checking the condition of the braking system for surface corrosion on discs or seized calipers is advisable, as these often occur on vehicles that sit idle for extended periods. The absence of any recorded advisories regarding corrosion or structural integrity in the recent years is a positive indicator of the vehicle's current condition.
