2006 Bentley Arnage 6.8L Petrol · BL06 DAB

This vehicle has just failed its most recent MOT on 29 May 2026. The failures are critical safety issues involving a defective brake servo and a fault with the supplementary restraint system indicated by the airbag warning lamp. The overall condition trend appears to be worsening. While the car passed cleanly in 2025, the 2024 history reveals a pattern of neglect and decay, including corroded rear suspension pipes, deteriorated door mirrors, and an engine management light malfunction. The jump from minor corrosion and electrical advisories to a total failure of the braking system and airbags suggests a decline in mechanical reliability. The recorded mileage of 73,807 is very low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging under 3,700 miles per year. In a luxury car of this age, such low usage often indicates long periods of standing. This is a significant risk factor, as inactivity frequently leads to the perishing of rubber seals in braking components and the onset of corrosion, both of which are evidenced in this vehicle's history. A buyer should be wary that the low mileage may be a symptom of under-use rather than gentle use, contributing to the current safety failures. The most urgent priorities for an in-person inspection are the braking system and the airbag status.
