MOT Roadworthiness: Excellent

Our Verdict
A highly attractive prospect for a buyer seeking a low-mileage example of this grand tourer. The exceptionally low mileage and clean MOT history make it a standout candidate, provided the mechanical service history matches the recorded data.
When considering this specific 5,998cc Bentley, the primary focus should be on verifying a comprehensive service history. While the MOT history is clean, an MOT is a test of roadworthiness, not a guarantee of mechanical perfection or long-term maintenance. Ensure that all scheduled manufacturer servicing has been performed, particularly for a high-capacity petrol engine.
Negotiate based on the documented service intervals. Given the low mileage, check if the vehicle has been stored in a garage and if any age-related components, such as rubber seals or tyres, have been replaced despite low wear. Ask for evidence of any major component replacements that wouldn't necessarily trigger an MOT failure but are critical for a vehicle of this calibre.
Running a 6.0-litre Bentley Continental involves significant expenditure. Fuel economy will be relatively low due to the large engine displacement, and insurance groups for this model are typically very high. Tax bands for a 2010 petrol vehicle of this size will also be substantial.
Maintenance costs are expected to be high, reflecting the premium nature of the brand. While the MOT history shows no recent failures, typical maintenance for this model can include expensive items such as suspension components and tyres. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, would likely fall in the range of £4,500-£7,000 depending on usage.
Inspect the vehicle thoroughly for any signs of the common failure points identified in the wider model data, specifically suspension arms, tyres, and headlamps. Although this specific car has had no recorded defects, these are the areas where the aggregate data suggests most issues arise.
Pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and the operation of the headlamp units. Given the low mileage of 40,598, check for any signs of age-related perishing on rubber components. Additionally, ensure the large 5.9L engine operates smoothly without any unusual vibrations or leaks, as these would not always be captured in a standard MOT test.
This 2010 Bentley Continental features a 5.9L petrol engine and has covered just 40,598 miles as of its most recent MOT in August 2026. The MOT record shows four consecutive passes since 2023 with no recorded defects, which is notable for a vehicle of this age. Given the model aggregate data suggests an average annual mileage of only 2,394, this specific vehicle's usage pattern is significantly lower than the statistical norm.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 91.8% MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to tyres, headlamps, and suspension arms.
