2016 Bentley Continental 6.0L Petrol · AM04 BBB

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate valid until November 2026, with the most recent test on 25 November 2025 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes since 2022, with the exception of a single failure on 25 November 2024 which was rectified and passed the following day. The record shows no recurring advisories or persistent mechanical failures, indicating that the vehicle has met the minimum legal standards for roadworthiness during each of the last four annual inspections. The recorded mileage of 12,447 miles over a ten-year period averages approximately 1,245 miles per annum, confirming a pattern of light usage. This low annual accumulation suggests the vehicle has spent significant time stationary. While the MOT record is free of recorded defects, low-mileage luxury vehicles often face specific risks related to long-term storage, such as the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluids that do not appear on standard emissions or safety inspections. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that deteriorate during periods of inactivity. The braking system, including discs and calipers, requires a thorough assessment for signs of surface corrosion or seizure, as these parts often suffer when a vehicle is not driven regularly to clear oxidation. Furthermore, inspect the suspension bushes, gaiters, and tyres for signs of perishing or dry rot, which may not be flagged during a basic MOT test but can necessitate significant expenditure. Ensure that all electronic systems and auxiliary belts are inspected for age-related fatigue, as the MOT record provides no insight into the functional status of the complex drivetrain or cabin technology. Buying score: 75. Risk level: Low.
