2016 Bentley Bentayga 6.0L Petrol · DE16 DLF

The 2016 Bentley Bentayga presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 28 May 2025 at 70,366 miles. The tester recorded zero defects and zero advisories, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards without compromise. This unblemished run of five consecutive passes demonstrates consistent mechanical care and a lack of recurring faults. However, buyers must note that this MOT certificate expired on 27 May 2026, meaning the vehicle currently sits without a valid test certificate as of today's date. Accumulating 70,366 miles over a decade equates to roughly 7,000 miles annually, a typical figure for a vehicle of this caliber. The annual mileage progression reveals a distinct shift in usage patterns. Between May 2023 and June 2024, the Bentayga covered just 3,842 miles, suggesting a period of light use or prolonged standing. Yet, the subsequent twelve months saw a sharp increase of 9,798 miles, jumping from 60,568 miles in June 2024 to 70,366 miles in May 2025. This recent spike in utilization accelerates the wear on consumables like brake discs, suspension bushes, and drivetrain components. With zero advisories across the entire MOT history, there are no recurring structural or mechanical red flags to investigate. The absence of flagged corrosion, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions failures points to diligent upkeep. Despite this pristine record, a pre-purchase inspection must focus on the components stressed by the recent 10,000-mile annual increase. Inspect the condition of the brake pads and discs for uneven wear, check the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and verify the structural integrity of the underbody. The lack of an active MOT necessitates a thorough independent assessment to confirm the vehicle remains defect-free before any road use.
