AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in October 2025 with 29,289 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a minor failure just two days prior to that successful test. That failure was caused solely by an offside front tyre with a structural bulge, which was rectified immediately to secure the passing certificate. This indicates that the owner is responsive to safety-critical defects once they are identified by a tester. At 12 years old, this Bentley Flying Spur has covered an exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 2,440 miles per year. This usage pattern suggests the car is used only for short trips or remains stationary for long periods. Between July 2022 and September 2024, the vehicle covered only 2,564 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it increases the risk of perished rubber seals, fluid degradation, and brake-related issues, which can occur due to time rather than distance. A buyer should focus their inspection on the condition of the tyres, as the record shows recurring sidewall damage in 2024 and a structural failure in 2025. Given the low annual mileage, it is vital to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs on vehicles that sit infrequently. The air suspension system should also be thoroughly checked for leaks or perished bellows, as these components can age and fail regardless of the miles driven. No evidence of structural corrosion or serious mechanical failure has appeared in the history, suggesting the chassis remains in good condition.
