2016 Bentley Continental GT 4.0L Petrol · 8 XR

The Bentley Continental GT presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent passed MOT on 26 September 2025 at 30,451 miles with no defects recorded. The test history shows no advisories or mechanical faults across five consecutive annual examinations from 2022 to 2025. The vehicle's condition reflects consistent compliance rather than recurring intervention. Recorded mileage stands at 30,451 miles for a 2016 model, equating to roughly 3,045 miles per year. The DVSA data shows minimal annual accumulation: 28,896 miles in September 2022, 29,608 in October 2023, 30,052 in October 2024, and 30,451 in September 2025. This low-use pattern suggests extended standing periods, though the clean test record gives no evidence of neglect or deferred consumable replacement. A curious entry appears on 26 September 2025 where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects listed. This typically indicates an administrative retest or data anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The buyer should nonetheless verify the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed defect exists. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake disc wear, corrosion, or exhaust issues, no component-specific inspection is mandated by the record. A pre-purchase check should still assess tyre sidewall condition, brake caliper freedom after standing, and underbody structural integrity, as low-mileage Continental GTs can develop moisture-related corrosion when stored.
