2017 Bentley Continental GT 6.0L Petrol · 1 PMO

The 2017 Bentley Continental GT presents a clean and stable maintenance record through its most recent MOT on 10 November 2025 at 18,853 miles, where it passed with zero defects. The preceding four consecutive annual tests, spanning from 29 October 2021 at 15,145 miles through to 21 November 2024 at 18,365 miles, also recorded no advisories or failures whatsoever. This unbroken five-year run of defect-free MOT outcomes indicates a stable and well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged by DVSA testers. The mileage accumulation pattern is notably low for a vehicle of this age. Over approximately nine years, the car has covered just 18,853 miles, averaging roughly 2,095 miles per year. The annual increments between tests are consistent and modest: 935 miles between October 2022 and October 2023, 1,413 miles between October 2023 and November 2024, and 488 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. The slight uptick in the 2023 to 2024 period aside, the overall trend suggests light, steady use rather than prolonged static storage or sudden high-mileage bursts. No anomalous gaps or suspicious mileage reversals appear in the record. Despite the clean MOT history, the low annual mileage warrants a focused in-person inspection of components that deteriorate with age and infrequency of use rather than mileage alone. The tyres, for instance, may present superficial cracking or sidewall perishing from age even if tread depth remains legally compliant. Brake discs and pads should be examined for surface corrosion and uneven wear patterns typical of short-journey use. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and damper seals merit close scrutiny for perishing or weeping, as extended stationary periods can accelerate rubber degradation. The exhaust system, fuel system, and underbody should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around mounting points and welded joints where moisture can accumulate during long periods of inactivity. Prospective buyers should also verify the condition of the battery and charging system, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from battery stratification from insufficient driving intervals. A thorough test drive at varied speeds will reveal any latent drivetrain vibrations, gearbox hesitation, or cooling system inefficiencies that static inspections might miss. The MOT record provides strong reassurance, but the specific usage profile of this Continental GT demands attention to age-related deterioration that annual testing alone does not always capture.
