Our Verdict
This 2016 Bentley Bentayga offers strong value for money with a clean MOT history and low mileage for its age, though its age and luxury status mean buyers should carefully assess long-term ownership costs.
Prioritise verifying the service history to confirm consistent maintenance, as Bentley vehicles require specialist care. Negotiate based on the car's age and luxury status—prices may be inflated due to brand prestige. Be wary of hidden costs, such as high insurance premiums and specialised repairs. Insist on a pre-purchase inspection by a Bentley-qualified technician to identify any underlying issues not flagged in MOT records.
The 5.95L petrol engine will deliver poor fuel economy, likely 15-20 mpg, resulting in annual fuel costs of £1,200-£1,500. Tax is £155 for the first year, then £155 for the second, with £0 thereafter. Insurance group for a luxury vehicle like the Bentayga is likely £1,500-£2,000 annually. Regular servicing and parts replacement will add significantly to running costs, with major repairs potentially exceeding £1,000.
Focus on the engine and transmission for signs of wear, as large petrol engines in luxury vehicles often face strain. Check for suspension and bodywork damage, common in high-mileage SUVs. Inspect the interior for wear on leather and electronics, which can degrade over time. Verify that all MOT passes align with the service history to rule out potential odometer tampering.
The 2016 Bentley Bentayga has a spotless MOT record over the last five years, with no defects reported. At 51,608 miles, its mileage is below average for a 10-year-old vehicle, suggesting careful ownership. While no aggregate reliability data exists for the Bentayga model, the absence of MOT failures indicates responsible maintenance.
No aggregate reliability data available for the Bentayga model, but the vehicle's clean MOT history suggests responsible maintenance and ownership.
