Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers prioritizing luxury and performance, with a clean MOT history and low mileage for its age.
Prioritize verifying full service records, as Bentleys require specialist maintenance. Negotiate based on age and luxury brand depreciation, but the low mileage (16,126 miles) may justify a premium. Insist on a pre-purchase inspection by a Bentley-approved garage to confirm mechanical integrity. Be prepared for higher-than-average servicing costs due to the model’s complexity.
The 5.998L petrol engine likely delivers poor fuel economy (est. 15-20 mpg), resulting in high fuel costs. As a 2011 model, it falls into a high UK road tax band (£280/year for 2023-2024). Insurance groups for Bentleys are typically 50+ (very high risk). Annual maintenance costs could exceed £1,500 for routine services, with major repairs (e.g., transmission, electronics) potentially costing thousands. Estimated annual running cost: £800-£1,000 (fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance).
Check for oil or fluid leaks under the chassis, as older Bentleys are prone to seepage. Inspect suspension components for wear, given the car’s age. Verify that the complex electrical systems (e.g., climate control, infotainment) function flawlessly. Review service history for evidence of regular oil changes and filter replacements, which are critical for preserving the V12 engine. Confirm that the 16,126-mile odometer reading aligns with the car’s physical condition.
This 2011 Bentley Continental has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive annual tests, covering 14,405 to 16,126 miles. The 5.998L petrol engine and grey exterior align with typical high-end specifications. While no model-wide reliability data exists, the vehicle’s consistent maintenance suggests a well-cared-for example.
No aggregate reliability data available for the Bentley Continental, but this vehicle’s MOT history suggests responsible ownership and maintenance.
