Our Verdict
This 2010 Bentley Mulsanne offers strong heritage and low mileage for its age, but its age and luxury status mean buyers should carefully assess long-term maintenance costs.
Prioritize checking service records to confirm the vehicle’s maintenance history, as Bentley’s complex systems require regular attention. Negotiate based on its age and potential for high repair costs. Look for evidence of professional servicing, particularly for the V12 engine and air suspension. Be wary of any unexplained mileage fluctuations in the service history.
Petrol fuel economy is likely poor, typical for a 6.75L V12 engine. Road tax would be £320 annually (2026 rates for cars over £40k). Insurance groups for Bentleys are typically high, with estimates exceeding £1,500/year. Major maintenance (e.g., transmission fluid changes, suspension checks) could cost £500–£1,000 every 3–5 years. Estimated annual running cost: £2,500–£3,500.
Inspect for leaks around the V12 engine and transmission. Check air suspension components for wear, as these are common failure points in older Bentleys. Verify that all electrical systems (including climate control and infotainment) function correctly. Review service history for evidence of regular oil changes and coolant checks, which are critical for long-term engine health.
The vehicle has a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive annual tests, covering 30,031–32,019 miles. Its 6.75L petrol engine and low mileage (32,019 miles at 2026) suggest careful ownership, though its 16-year age raises concerns about aging mechanical systems. No aggregate reliability data is available for the Mulsanne model.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Bentley Mulsanne model, but owners of 2010-era examples should expect higher-than-average maintenance demands due to the vehicle’s complexity and age.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: BENTLEY MULSANNE
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Coolant Expansion Tank Leaks(Moderate)
The plastic expansion tanks can crack or the seals can fail, leading to slow coolant loss.
- 6.75L V8 Turbo Oil Feed Line Leaks(Serious)
The legendary 6.75-litre V8 uses turbo oil feed lines that can develop leaks as they age, leading to oil consumption, potential turbo damage, and in severe cases engine bay fires if oil contacts hot exhaust components.
