1998 Bentley Arnage 4.4L Petrol · 7141 RU

The vehicle maintains a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent string of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 20 March 2026 at 27,116 miles showed no defects or advisories, indicating a stable mechanical and structural condition. This trend suggests that the vehicle has been maintained in an environment that prevents the typical degradation seen in high-end luxury vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 28-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 968 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the car covered only 224 miles, moving from 26,892 to 27,116 miles. This minimal usage indicates the Bentley is likely a collector item stored for long periods. While this reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry that MOT tests do not always fully capture. A buyer must focus inspection on areas specific to low-mileage storage that the MOT record cannot verify. The complex air suspension on the Arnage is prone to perished perished and leaking seals when the vehicle sits stationary for months on. You should also check the brake calipers for corrosion or seized pistons, as infrequent use often leads to pads pitting against the discs. Inspecting the chassis for any signs of surface rust beyond the standard MOT requirements is essential to ensure the age of the vehicle has not compromised its structural integrity despite the low mileage.
