BENTLEY ARNAGE1998 · 4.4L PETROL

This Bentley Arnage presents a significant risk due to a complete lack of recent MOT history, with the last recorded test occurring over twelve years ago in early 2014. Given that the current date is May 2026, the vehicle has been unmonitored for a vast period, making its current roadworthiness entirely unknown. The historical data shows a troubling pattern of structural corrosion affecting critical areas, including the rear sub-frame, seat belt anchorages, and suspension component mountings. While some issues were noted as not being "excessively" corroded in 2012, they progressed to being "excessively" corroded by the 2014 failure. This indicates a worsening trend regarding the vehicle's structural integrity and chassis health. The mileage of 96,105 is exceptionally low for a 28-year-old vehicle, averaging only about 3,432 miles per year. While this suggests less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, such low usage often implies long periods of standing. For a luxury vehicle of this age, extended periods of inactivity can lead to perished rubber components, seized brakes, and degraded fluids, which is supported by the 2011 record of perished rear tyres and corroded fuel pipes. The most recent MOT entry from 2014 was a pass, but it followed a failure involving a serious shock absorber leak and a fault with the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) warning lamp. Because the documentation ends so long ago, it is impossible to determine if these safety-critical issues were permanently resolved or if the corrosion has since compromised the vehicle's safety.
