2024 Bentley Bentayga S V8 Auto 4.0L Petrol · 43 SB

Running a Bentayga S V8 involves significant costs, primarily driven by high fuel consumption associated with the powerful petrol engine and the vehicle's substantial kerb weight. You should also factor in premium insurance premiums, which reflect the vehicle's high market value and repair costs.

Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) for a vehicle at this price point will be at the higher end of the scale, including the 'expensive car supplement' applicable to vehicles with a list price exceeding £40,000. Maintenance costs should be budgeted for at main dealer rates, as specialised diagnostic equipment is required for the Bentayga's sophisticated chassis and powertrain systems.

As there is no MOT history, your inspection should focus on the 'as-new' condition of the vehicle. Check the condition of the tyres, ensuring they are premium-brand tyres with even tread wear, as the V8's torque can accelerate wear on the rear axle. Examine the alloy wheels for any signs of kerbing, which can be costly to repair on these specific S-model finishes.

Underneath the vehicle, check for any signs of fluid leaks or damage to the air suspension components. While the model has a 100% MOT pass rate in our aggregate data, it is vital to verify that the vehicle has not been involved in any undocumented incidents by performing an independent HPI or data check for insurance write-off markers.
