2001 BENTLEY ARNAGE6.8L PETROL

The most recent MOT from July 2025 resulted in a pass, though it noted a perished dust cover on the offside rear lower shock absorber bush. The vehicle's history reveals a recurring pattern of degradation regarding the rear damper and shock absorber dust covers, which were flagged as split, torn, or perished in 2021, 2022, and 2025. This indicates a stable but persistent trend of rubber components perishing over time. The recorded mileage of 29,635 miles is exceptionally low for a 25-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,185 miles per year. This suggests the car has spent significant periods standing still rather than being subjected to heavy mechanical wear. Evidence of this under-use is seen in the 2021 MOT entry, which recorded pitted front brake discs. Pitting is typically a sign of moisture sitting on the metal surface during long periods of inactivity, rather than wear from hard use. Overall, the vehicle appears to be in stable condition, but the combination of low mileage and recurring rubber failures suggests that age-related perishables are the primary risk. A buyer should first inspect all rubber bushings, seals, and hoses for cracking or dryness. It is also essential to check the brake system for any signs of corrosion and ensure the car has been stored in a way that prevented moisture buildup in the drivetrain.
