2011 Bentley Mulsanne 6.8L Petrol · BO55 PZA

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in May 2025, but it carries advisories for cracking and perishing on both rear tyres. There is a clear and recurring pattern of tyre degradation. A failure in August 2021 showed severe damage with ply or cords exposed on the offside rear, alongside perishing across all four tyres. This indicates a history of rubber deterioration rather than standard tread wear. The condition trend for the tyres is stable but persistent. The return of perishing rubber in the latest test suggests the vehicle is still prone to age-related decay. The very low mileage of 32,620 miles over fifteen years is significantly below average. This strongly implies the car has spent long periods standing. While this results in less wear on the engine and drivetrain, it is the likely cause of the recurring tyre perishing, as rubber degrades when not regularly rotated and used. A buyer should first inspect the date codes on all four tyres to determine their actual age.
