2006 Bentley Continental 6.0L Petrol · V20 CGT

The Bentley Continental presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 27 November 2025 at 157,645 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five available annual tests from 2021 to 2025, the vehicle cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure, indicating consistent upkeep and no escalating mechanical concerns. The mileage pattern reflects light, steady use for a twenty-year-old vehicle. The record shows 155,488 miles at the 12 November 2021 test, rising only to 157,645 miles by November 2025, a total accumulation of just 2,157 miles over four years, or roughly 540 miles annually. Such low yearly coverage against a lifetime average near 7,882 miles suggests extended periods of standing, though the clean MOT history confirms no test failures from neglect during that time. Given the absence of any flagged advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the official record offers no evidence of pending mechanical risk. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the underbody for hidden corrosion and verify the condition of tyres and brake calipers, as prolonged low-mileage storage can permit perishable components to degrade without triggering MOT defects. The sparse yet unblemished history implies the previous keeper prioritised statutory testing and basic preservation. No recurring faults appear in the data to warrant concern over drivetrain or emissions integrity at this stage.
