2004 Bentley Continental 6.0L Petrol · HB02 ABB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 48,651 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a recurring mechanical issue that persisted for a year. While the 2024 failure due to a supplementary restraint system warning lamp was rectified prior to the subsequent test, the persistence of wheel-related advisories indicates a focus on essential repairs rather than comprehensive preventative maintenance over the last three years. At 22 years of age, the recorded mileage of 48,651 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 2,211 miles per year. The data shows consistent but infrequent usage, with only 1,103 miles driven between February 2025 and February 2026, and just 968 miles between January 2023 and February 2024. This low mileage often suggests less mechanical wear on drivetrain components but increases the risk of rubber degradation, fluid ingress, and seal failure from long periods of inactivity. A buyer must pay close attention to the distorted nearside front road wheel, which was flagged in both the February 2025 and February 2026 tests. This recurring distortion suggests a previous impact or a manufacturing defect that could lead to vibrations or uneven wear on the suspension assembly. Given the vehicle's age, a physical inspection should also target the chassis corrosion, perished rubber bushings, and seized brake calipers, as these components suffer more from age and sitting than from high-mileage use.
