Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a low-mileage example of this grand tourer. The consistent MOT pass history without defects suggests a vehicle that has been used sparingly.
Given the low mileage of 16,503 miles, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure that even though the car has been driven little, it has been maintained according to Bentley's strict service intervals. Low-mileage luxury vehicles can sometimes suffer from 'disuse' issues, such as perished rubber components or battery degradation, so ensure all electronic systems are fully functional.
When negotiating, ask for evidence of all scheduled maintenance. While the MOT history is clean, an MOT is a minimum standard test; it does not replace the necessity of a comprehensive service record. For this specific 4.0L petrol model, check that all major service items have been addressed despite the low annual mileage.
Running a 3993cc Bentley Continental GT involves substantial costs. Expect high fuel consumption consistent with a large-capacity petrol engine, and insurance groups for this model are typically very high. Tax bands for a vehicle of this engine size and value will also be at the upper end of the scale.
Maintenance costs for this model are significantly higher than an average vehicle. While the MOT history shows no current defects, typical failure points for this model aggregate include tyres, headlamps, and brake pads. You should budget for premium replacement parts and specialist labour, making the estimated annual running cost considerably higher than a standard saloon.
Focus your inspection on the items identified in the wider model aggregate data, specifically tyres, headlamp functionality, and brake pad wear. Even though this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT defects, these are the most common failure points for the Continental GT fleet.
Additionally, inspect the condition of the tyres for uneven wear, which can indicate suspension issues, and check the clarity of the headlamp lenses. Given the low mileage, also inspect the condition of all rubber seals and hoses to ensure they have not dried out due to infrequent use.
This 2018 Bentley Continental GT, finished in Black, presents with significantly lower-than-average mileage for its age. With only 16,503 miles recorded at its last MOT in November 2025, it has been driven well below the model average of 3,211 miles per year. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes with no recorded defects, indicating no immediate mechanical failures related to standard MOT inspection items during this period.
The Bentley Continental GT shows a high average MOT pass rate of 95.8% across 2,947 analysed vehicles, suggesting generally high standards of roadworthiness.
