Known faults for Bentley Bentley Bentayga
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Excellent
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.

Our Verdict
The 2016 Bentley Bentayga presents a strong case for buyers prioritising luxury and status, but its high mileage and lack of aggregate reliability data warrant caution.
Prioritise obtaining full service records to verify maintenance consistency. Negotiate based on the high mileage, which exceeds typical averages for this age. Insist on a pre-purchase inspection by a Bentley specialist to check for hidden issues. Be wary of potential electrical system repairs common in older Bentleys. Verify that all factory warranties have expired and confirm the vehicle's history for accidents or flood damage.
The 5.95L petrol engine will deliver poor fuel economy, likely averaging 15-20 mpg combined. As a 2016 model, it falls into a high UK road tax band (£320 annually for 2024-2025). Insurance groups for luxury SUVs like the Bentayga typically range from 50-60, resulting in premiums over £1,500 annually. Major maintenance costs could exceed £2,000 for services like timing belt replacement. Estimated annual running costs: £2,500-£3,500.
Focus on the 5.95L engine for signs of oil leaks or excessive wear. Check suspension components for wear given the high mileage. Inspect the complex electrical system for faults, a known weakness in older Bentleys. Verify that all fluid levels and condition are up to date. Examine the interior for excessive wear on leather surfaces and check climate control systems for efficiency.
This 2016 Bentayga has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive annual tests, including 71,175 miles on the 2026 MOT. While the vehicle shows consistent maintenance, its 71k mileage for a 10-year-old car may raise concerns about long-term reliability. The 5.95L petrol engine suggests higher running costs compared to smaller luxury SUVs.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Bentley Bentayga model, though older examples often require careful maintenance of electrical systems and complex mechanical components.
