2009 Bentley Arnage 6.8L Petrol · 1 CTE

The most recent MOT, dated 25 June 2025, was a clean pass at 59,948 miles with no recorded defects. The previous four tests (2023‑01‑23, 2022‑03‑24, 2021‑03‑06 and 2020‑04‑06) were also passes, each showing only a modest increase in mileage – roughly 300‑400 miles per year. This consistent record indicates a stable condition with no emerging safety‑related failures over the last six years. All five MOTs are defect‑free, so there is no evidence of a worsening trend. The vehicle’s mileage, 59,948 miles after 17 years, works out to about 3,500 miles per year – well below the average for a car of this age. Low mileage can mean the car has been driven gently, but it can also suggest long periods of inactivity, which may lead to issues such as dried seals, rust‑prone suspension bushings, or corrosion in the drivetrain if the car has sat unused for extended stretches. Because the mileage figure alone does not tell us how the car was used, the implication for wear is ambiguous. Given the clean MOT history, the primary risk for a buyer will be components that deteriorate with age rather than mileage – for example, rubber hoses, suspension bushings, brake discs and pads, and the condition of the tyre tread and sidewalls. Even with low mileage, a 2009 Bentley Arnage may have ageing‑related wear on the steering rack, drivetrain oil seals, and electronic systems. What to inspect first: - Check the condition of the tyres (tread depth, sidewall cracks) and confirm they are appropriate for a high‑performance vehicle.
