1990 Bentley Mulsanne 6.8L Petrol · 75 CE

The Bentley Mulsanne presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 13 January 2026 at 56,503 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable. Prior to this, the vehicle cleared the May 2024 test at 56,380 miles, also with a clean sheet. Two failed tests in early 2024 at near-identical mileages produced no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The history shows no worsening pattern of wear or recurring advisories across the six-year span covered. Recorded mileage sits at 56,503 against a 1990 build, averaging roughly 1,570 miles per year. The car covered only 3,273 miles between the July 2022 test at 53,230 miles and the January 2026 pass. A tight cluster of activity appears in spring 2024, where three tests fell within 56,374 to 56,380 miles across March, April, and May. Such low annual use over 36 years suggests extended periods of standing, which carries its own risks for seals, brake calipers, and suspension bushes even where the MOT shows clean results. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record notes no advisories but does not certify absence of age-related rot on a 36-year-old chassis. Check the condition of brake discs and calipers for binding after long storage, and verify suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing from inactivity. The exhaust emissions and tyres passed without comment, yet rubber age rather than tread depth may concern a car used so sparingly. Given the sparse but clean record, the vehicle reflects careful low-mileage custody rather than neglected use. The repeated 2024 failures with no defects logged point to test centre processing, not owner deferring of repairs. Confirm service history and proof of periodic lubrication to support the favourable MOT evidence.
