2011 Bentley Mulsanne 6.8L Petrol · G11 DHU

The most recent MOT (25 Feb 2026) was a pass at 67,324 mi, but it flagged front and rear brake discs as “worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened”. That is the only defect recorded for this test, so the vehicle cleared without a failure. A clear pattern emerges from the last three years of MOT data. In 2025 the same brake‑disc wear was noted, together with a front‑brake wire touching the wheel, a cut on the rear tyre, play in the steering rack inner joint and a slight power‑steering fluid seep. In 2024 the front tyres were reported as worn close to the legal limit on both sides. The 2023 test recorded no specific defects, but the engine covers and undertray prevented inspection of some components, meaning hidden wear cannot be ruled out. Overall the trend is relatively stable – the brake discs have been consistently flagged as worn but not yet unsafe, and tyre wear has been a recurring issue. There is no evidence of a sudden deterioration, but the repeated brake‑disc wear and tyre‑edge wear suggest the braking system and tyres are approaching the end of their service life and will need attention soon. The recorded mileage – 67,324 mi on a 15‑year‑old Bentley – works out to about 4,500 mi per year, which is low for a vehicle of this age. Low mileage can indicate light, gentle use, but it can also mean long periods of inactivity.
