AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2017 Bentley Continental GT presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 November 2025 at 22,915 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes stretching back to 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five available records, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test scope during this period. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a nine-year-old vehicle. The records show 14,028 miles in August 2021 rising to 22,915 miles by November 2025, an average of roughly 2,200 miles per year across the documented span. The longest interval between tests, from August 2024 to November 2025, added 4,497 miles, the largest single gain in the history. Such low annual use suggests extended standing periods, though the clean test outcomes imply the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that avoided visible deterioration at each examination. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the low-mileage, intermittent-use profile that can mask perished rubber and seized components not caught in a static MOT. Standing time often conceals underbody corrosion and degraded fluid condition despite a pass result. The absence of recorded faults means no recurring defect pattern exists to target, but pre-purchase checks on tyre sidewall cracking, brake disc pitting, and exhaust emissions remain prudent on a Continental GT of this age.

Our Verdict

A highly recommended purchase for those seeking a luxury grand tourer. This specific Continental GT boasts an exceptionally clean history and remarkably low mileage for its age.

Given the low mileage and clean MOT record, your primary focus should be on the service history. Ensure the vehicle has followed the Bentley scheduled maintenance intervals regardless of the low mileage, as rubber components and fluids can degrade over time even if the car isn't driven.

Negotiate based on the current market value for low-mileage examples, but be prepared to pay a premium for a car with such a pristine MOT record. Check for any evidence of long-term storage, such as flat-spots on the tyres or battery health, which can occur with vehicles doing fewer than 5,000 miles per year.

Owning a 4.0L petrol Bentley involves significant overheads. Fuel economy will be low, particularly in urban environments, and the high engine displacement places it in a higher tax bracket. Insurance will also be substantial due to the vehicle's value and performance capabilities.

Maintenance costs for the Continental GT are high, with specialist parts and labour commanding a premium. While this car has a clean history, annual servicing at a main dealer or specialist will be a significant recurring expense.

While the MOT history shows zero defects from 2021 to 2025, you should still perform a thorough physical inspection. Check the white paintwork for stone chips and the interior leather for wear, though the low mileage of 22,915 suggests it should be in excellent condition.

Pay close attention to the tyres; since the car has covered very few miles over the last few years, the rubber may be aged and hardened despite having plenty of tread. Check the date codes on the sidewalls to see if they require replacing for safety.

This 2017 white Bentley Continental GT is in exemplary condition based on its recorded history. With only 22,915 miles on the clock as of November 2025, it has been used sparingly. Most impressively, it has passed every MOT since 2021 without a single recorded defect, suggesting a high standard of maintenance.

Specific aggregate data is unavailable, but the lack of any MOT defects on this individual vehicle suggests it has been maintained to a very high standard.
