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

The most recent MOT, dated 23 July 2025, was a clean pass at 27,345 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern: each of the previous four annual tests (2024‑06‑05, 2023‑05‑19, 2022‑05‑09 and 2021‑07‑02) also passed without any advisory or failure notes. There is no indication of emerging or recurring faults, so the vehicle’s condition trend appears stable rather than worsening. At eight years old, the recorded mileage of 27,345 miles works out to roughly 3,400 miles per year, which is well below the average for a Bentley of this age. Low mileage can suggest gentle, infrequent use, which may mean less wear on consumables such as brakes, tyres and suspension components. However, it can also indicate periods of extended storage, during which rubber seals, batteries and electronic systems can deteriorate if the car is not driven regularly. Because the mileage figure alone does not reveal how the miles were accumulated, the implication for wear is ambiguous. Overall, the MOT history is clean and the mileage is low, so there are no obvious red flags from the records. The key concerns for a buyer are the items that are not captured by MOT data: the condition of the tyre tread, the health of the battery, any signs of fluid leaks, and the operation of the electronic and luxury systems that a Bentley relies on. First‑hand checks: - Inspect the tyre tread depth and look for uneven wear.
