Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the 5950cc engine and nearly 95,000 miles on the clock, the primary focus should be on the detailed service history. While the MOT history is clean, it does not reflect the mechanical health of the W12 engine or gearbox; ensure all major interval services have been completed by a Bentley specialist.
Check for consistency in tyre brands and wear across all four corners, as the 2025 MOT failure specifically highlighted a cut in the offside rear tyre. Negotiate based on the upcoming service requirements and the fact that the mileage is higher than the model average.
Running costs for this vehicle will be significant. The large engine capacity puts it in a high tax bracket, and fuel consumption for a 5.9L petrol engine in a heavy SUV is substantial. Insurance will also be in a high group due to the vehicle's value and performance capabilities.
Maintenance costs for Bentley vehicles are high, particularly as the car approaches 100,000 miles. Expect high costs for specialist parts and labour, alongside the premium cost of replacement tyres for this model.
Carefully inspect all tyres for cuts or bulges, specifically the offside rear, following the failure recorded in February 2025. While this vehicle passed its recent tests without defects, aggregate data shows that windscreen washers and registration plates are common failure points for the Bentayga, so these should be checked for functionality and condition.
Perform a thorough visual inspection of the white exterior for stone chips or paint degradation consistent with its 94,483-mile history. Ensure that the interior leather and electronics are functioning correctly, as these are high-wear areas in luxury vehicles of this age.
This 2016 white Bentley Bentayga is powered by a 5.9L petrol engine and has covered 94,483 miles. Its MOT history is relatively clean, with only one failure recorded in February 2025 due to a tyre cut, which was resolved within two days. The vehicle has passed its most recent three tests without any recorded defects.
The Bentayga demonstrates a strong reliability profile in MOT data, with an average pass rate of 95.6% across 3,221 analysed vehicles.

Common Problems: BENTLEY BENTAYGA
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Carbon Build-up (GDI Coking)(Moderate)
Direct injection leads to carbon deposits on intake valves, reducing performance and fuel economy.
- Infotainment and Electrical Glitches(Moderate)
The Bentayga's complex electronics, including the infotainment touchscreen, parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control, are prone to software bugs and random reboots. Moisture ingress into wiring can cause cascading electrical failures.
