2016 Bentley Flying Spur 6.0L Petrol · 25 GA

The 2016 Bentley Flying Spur presents a flawless roadworthiness record, demonstrating a stable and impeccable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 January 2026 at 81,695 miles passed with zero defects or advisories. This outcome mirrors every preceding examination, confirming the vehicle has consistently met structural and mechanical compliance standards without requiring any remedial work. Mileage accumulation aligns with a typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age, though recent years show a distinct reduction in annual covering. Between the December 2021 test at 69,884 miles and the January 2023 test at 73,370 miles, the car covered roughly 3,500 miles. However, the intervening periods since then reveal a slowdown; the 12 months preceding the January 2025 test saw only 1,950 miles added, and the most recent year to January 2026 added just 2,364 miles. Such low recent utilization requires careful assessment of components prone to deterioration from standing rather than wear from use. With no recurring mechanical faults or corrosion issues flagged in the history, the focus shifts entirely to age-related degradation and the effects of low mileage. A buyer must inspect the condition of the tyres, looking closely for sidewall cracking or date codes indicating they are over six years old, as low annual mileages often mean original rubber persists long past its safe service life. Suspension bushes and dampers should be checked for perishing, a common issue when luxury vehicles sit stationary for extended periods. Brake discs and calipers demand particular attention. Light use frequently leads to uneven corrosion on brake disc faces rather than the smooth wear seen on high-mileage vehicles, which can cause binding or pedal pulsation. Fluid health, including coolant and brake fluid moisture content, requires verification, as infrequent driving prevents the natural boiling off of condensation that regular commuting purges from the system. The structural integrity of the exhaust and underbody must be physically inspected to ensure no moisture ingress has caused internal corrosion during its periods of low activity.
