Our Verdict
A highly attractive prospect for buyers
Given the exceptionally low mileage, the primary focus should be on the service history. Ensure the vehicle has been serviced at recommended intervals regardless of the low distance covered to prevent oil degradation and seal shrinkage. Check for any evidence of tyre 'flat-spotting' or age-related cracking in the rubber, as the car has spent significant time stationary.
Negotiations should focus on the current state of the consumables. While the most recent MOTs are clean, the history of tyre damage suggests a need to verify the current tread depth and sidewall integrity of all four tyres, especially on the nearside.
Running costs for this 4.0L petrol Continental GT will be substantial. Between the high fuel consumption of the 3993cc engine and the high insurance group associated with Bentley, annual outgoings are significant. Road tax will also be at the higher end of the scale for a 2017 registration.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically high due to the complexity of the drivetrain and the cost of genuine parts. Owners should budget for expensive tyre replacements and specialized technician labour for any required repairs.
Pay close attention to the tyres; the MOT records from 2022 and 2023 specifically noted a cut in the nearside front inner tyre and damage to both nearside front and rear tyres. Ensure these have been replaced or professionally repaired.
Additionally, inspect the headlamps and brake pads. According to aggregate data for nearly 3,000 similar vehicles, these are among the top reasons for MOT failures in this model. A thorough check of the braking system is advised despite the low recorded mileage.
This 2017 Blue Bentley Continental GT has covered just 12,353 miles, which is significantly lower than the average for this model. The vehicle has a consistent MOT record with no failures across five tests, although it did record tyre-related advisories in 2022 and 2023. With a 3993cc petrol engine, it represents a low-use example of this high-performance vehicle.
The Continental GT shows strong reliability trends, with an average MOT pass rate of 95.8% across 2,954 analysed vehicles.
