2016 Bentley Mulsanne 6.8L Petrol · CD62 ACE

The vehicle has maintained a stable roadworthiness trend over the past four years, with no defects recorded in the 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests. However, the most recent test in May 2026 at 13,270 miles flagged all four tyres as slightly damaged or perishing, along with play in the near-side steering rack inner joint. This suggests a recent decline in upkeep, particularly with tyre maintenance. The vehicle has not accumulated significant mileage since the 2025 test, indicating a possible period of reduced use or storage. The mileage pattern is unusually low for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging just 1,327 miles per year. This could reflect lighter use or extended periods of inactivity, which may have contributed to the tyre wear and steering rack issues identified in the latest test. The consistent mileage between tests suggests a stable but low usage pattern, with no evidence of rapid wear or aggressive driving. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the tyres for signs of uneven wear or further damage, as the recent test highlights a decline in maintenance. The steering rack play may indicate wear or misalignment, warranting a professional assessment. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, the suspension and drivetrain components should also be carefully inspected for signs of wear or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been stored or used lightly.
