2016 Bentley Continental 4.0L Petrol · V12 LCJ

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 2 March 2026 at 78,562 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of passes without a single recorded advisory or failure, indicating a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a ten year old luxury grand tourer. Between the January 2022 test at 66,509 miles and the March 2026 test at 78,562 miles, the car covered 12,053 miles. This averages roughly 3,000 miles per year over the last four years, suggesting the vehicle is used sparingly but regularly enough to avoid the common pitfalls of long-term standing. The complete absence of advisories regarding brake disc corrosion, suspension bush wear, or tyre tread depth is unusual for a vehicle of this age and weight. While the record is clean, a buyer should still verify the condition of the air suspension components and check for any signs of oil leaks from the engine or gearbox during a physical inspection. These items often do not trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical state. Given the lack of reported structural rust or exhaust emissions issues across the entire history, there are no recurring mechanical trends to worry about. The record implies a previous owner who adhered to a strict maintenance schedule. A physical check should focus on the age of the tyres and the service history to ensure the mechanical upkeep matches the clean MOT data.
