2018 Bentley Continental GT 4.0L Petrol · FJ18 VCC

The vehicle maintains a strong roadworthiness record, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 February 2026 at 21,359 miles. The current maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its annual inspections without requiring major repairs. The single advisory noted in the latest test regarding a cut to the nearside front tyre is a minor consumable issue rather than a structural concern, though it necessitates a prompt inspection to ensure the integrity of the tyre sidewall has not been compromised by road debris or kerb impact. With a total of 21,359 miles accumulated over eight years, the vehicle averages approximately 2,670 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average for a luxury grand tourer. The mileage progression is consistent, showing steady, low-intensity usage between the 10,737 miles recorded in April 2022 and the current figure. This lack of rapid accumulation suggests the vehicle has likely been used for occasional touring rather than daily commuting, which generally reduces the risk of heavy drivetrain fatigue but increases the importance of verifying that the car has not suffered from long periods of static storage. Potential buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components, specifically the offside front lower arm bush flagged as worn during the September 2023 test at 15,295 miles. While this did not result in a failure at the time, rubber bushings on high-performance vehicles can deteriorate due to age rather than just mileage, and any play in the front end will affect steering precision and tyre wear. Given the low annual mileage, verify the condition of the brake discs and pads for signs of surface corrosion or seizure, as infrequent use can lead to binding calipers and uneven pad deposition on these heavy, high-performance braking systems.
