BENTLEY CONTINENTAL2010 · 6.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-16 recorded a pass at 38,382 miles, with no defects noted. This suggests the vehicle met safety standards at that time, but the history reveals a critical failure in 2024-12-19 for an inoperative or malfunctioning Engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp), which is a serious safety issue. The same date also shows a conflicting entry for a "PASSED" MOT with no defects, raising questions about data accuracy or potential resolution of the MIL fault. The 2023-12-21 and 2022-12-09 MOTs were passes, though the 2022 test noted minor tyre wear on both rear tyres (5.2.3 (d) (ii)). These were not safety-critical but indicate routine maintenance needs. The 2024 failure for the Engine MIL is the most significant defect, as it could signal unresolved engine or emissions system issues, potentially affecting performance and compliance. The vehicle’s mileage of 38,382 miles over 16 years equates to roughly 2,399 miles per year, which is low for its age. This could imply infrequent use or periods of inactivity, which may lead to fluid degradation, electrical issues, or component corrosion. However, the low mileage also suggests less wear on consumables like brakes and tyres compared to higher-mileage vehicles. The conflicting 2024 MOT results complicate assessing whether the Engine MIL issue was resolved or if it persists.
