2003 Bentley Arnage 6.8L Petrol · V8 LGR

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a string of consecutive MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 46,647 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that any previously identified issues were addressed or resolved. This consistency suggests the car is currently being maintained to a standard that prevents immediate mechanical failure or structural decline during the testing process. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 23-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,000 miles per year. The data shows significant intervals between use, such as the 1,466-mile gap between January 2023 and January 2024, and the 826-mile interval between the two most recent tests. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, these long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, fluid breakdown, and surface corrosion on brake surfaces. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the suspension system, noting that the January 2024 test at 44,788 miles flagged an advisory for external damage to the rear shock absorber casings and deteriorated covers. Although this passed in subsequent tests, the low-frequency use increases the risk of seals perishing or perished cracking over time. A buyer should also check for signs of weeping around the dampers and inspect the condition of the bushings, as the age of the vehicle often causes these materials to fail regardless of the low mileage.
