2013 Bentley Flying Spur 6.0L Petrol · J60 SEB

This Bentley Flying Spur has covered a very low average of roughly 3,600 miles per year, which suggests the vehicle has spent significant time in storage or has been used only sparingly. While low mileage is often seen as a positive, in a high-performance vehicle like this, it can lead to issues with rubber seals, gaskets, and suspension bushes drying out or seizing from lack of regular movement. The MOT history is generally clean, with three consecutive passes between 2023 and 2025. However, the most recent testing cycle in May 2026 shows a concerning development. The vehicle failed its MOT due to a badly distorted nearside front road wheel. This is a significant structural issue that indicates the car has likely struck a severe pothole or curb at speed. The fact that the vehicle passed the very next day suggests the wheel was either replaced or repaired, but you must verify that the replacement is a genuine Bentley-spec alloy and not a budget aftermarket alternative. A distorted wheel can also mask underlying damage to the suspension geometry, steering rack, or wheel bearings, which may not be immediately obvious during a standard MOT inspection but could cause accelerated wear or handling instability over time. The trend for this vehicle is stable in terms of general maintenance, but the recent failure introduces a new risk factor regarding impact damage. Because the car has seen very low annual usage, you should be wary of potential "garage rot," where components have aged due to time rather than mileage.
