2012 Bentley Continental 6.0L Petrol · BC12 GTC

The 2012 Bentley Continental presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 June 2025 at 5,524 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes across every available MOT entry. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any point in the supplied history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test scope over the observed period. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. From the 20 April 2021 test at 4,400 miles to the 2 June 2025 test at 5,524 miles, the car covered just 1,124 miles across four years, averaging roughly 395 miles per year overall. The gaps between tests are irregular rather than annual, with the 2021 to 2022 interval spanning over fourteen months, yet mileage increments remain uniformly low at each point. The DVSA data is sparse but entirely clean, showing no rapid accumulation or neglect-driven failures. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the long standing periods implied by the low annual mileage. Drivetrain seals, exhaust system corrosion, and underbody structural integrity warrant close examination, as prolonged inactivity accelerates perishable component degradation despite a fault-free test record. The absence of recorded advisories does not exempt the vehicle from pre-purchase scrutiny of tyre sidewall condition and brake disc surface rust. Previous keepers clearly limited operational use; verify fluid change intervals and confirm the odometer reflects genuine standing rather than partial recording before committing to purchase.
