2016 Bentley Bentayga 6.0L Petrol · 262 HFR

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent pass on 22 September 2025 at 39,005 miles with zero defects recorded. This result follows a successful test just two months prior in July 2025, suggesting the owner addressed any potential concerns to ensure the car remained compliant. The maintenance trend is stable, showing a clear improvement in upkeep following the significant failures encountered during the 2023 inspection. The recorded mileage of 39,005 over ten years averages approximately 3,900 miles annually, which is notably low for a luxury SUV of this classification. The history shows consistent, light usage patterns between 2022 and 2025, with no concerning gaps in the testing cycle. While the low mileage indicates limited mechanical stress on the drivetrain, it often necessitates a closer look at rubber components and seals that may degrade due to age rather than high-frequency operation. The 2023 test failure highlighted a lack of attention to basic consumables, specifically regarding illegal tyre tread depths and non-compliant registration plates. While these issues were rectified, the inner edge wear noted on the front tyres during that period points to potential tracking or alignment geometry concerns that warrant a physical check of the suspension bushes and control arms. Prospective buyers should prioritize an inspection of the air suspension system and brake discs, as these high-cost items often suffer from lack of use in vehicles that spend extended periods stationary. Confirming that the current tyres are matched and correctly aligned will provide assurance that the previous handling issues have been fully resolved.
