2023 Bentley Continental GT Azure V8 Auto 4.0L Petrol · KF73 WXM

The most recent MOT carried out on 27 July 2026 recorded a full pass with no advisory or failure items, indicating that at the time of testing the vehicle met all statutory safety and emissions criteria. With only a single MOT entry available, the absence of defects suggests a stable maintenance condition, and there is no evidence of a deteriorating trend; the car appears to have been kept in a road‑worthy state up to the latest inspection. At three years old the Bentley Continental GT Azure V8 has a recorded mileage of 2,852 miles, which works out to roughly 950 miles per annum – a markedly low utilisation rate for a high‑performance luxury saloon. Such limited use often points to long periods of inactivity rather than extensive driving, meaning that wear on wear‑items such as tyres, brakes and suspension components will be less a function of distance and more a function of age. However, prolonged standing can accelerate rubber hardening, battery sulphation and corrosion of metal parts, so the low mileage does not automatically equate to a pristine mechanical condition. For a buyer this low‑mileage, lightly‑used vehicle, the first visual checks should concentrate on tyre health: examine sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or perishing, verify tread depth is even and above the legal minimum, and look for any signs of flat‑spotting that can develop when cars sit for long periods. Inspect the wheels and wheel arches for surface rust or corrosion, especially around the suspension mounting points, and give the suspension a thorough walk‑around to feel for any loosened bushings, cracked coil springs or worn mounts that may have deteriorated with age. The 12‑volt battery should be load‑tested; even with few miles a battery can lose capacity if left idle, and signs of electrolyte leakage or swollen cells should be ruled out. Under the bonnet, check that all fluid reservoirs are topped up and that the fluids are clear – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and the automatic transmission fluid should be changed according to Bentley’s time‑based service schedule rather than mileage alone, as fluid degradation can occur even with limited use. Finally, a comprehensive test‑drive is essential: listen for any clunking or squeaking from the front and rear suspension, feel for any pull or vibration that could indicate worn tyre sidewalls or mis‑aligned steering geometry, and monitor the brake pedal for sponginess or shudder that might reveal corroded discs or glazed pads after standing. Verify that the electronic systems – adaptive cruise control, infotainment, and driver‑assist sensors – operate without fault, and confirm that the service book contains the appropriate factory‑approved entries and that any outstanding recalls have been addressed. If all these checks are satisfactory, the low‑mileage status combined with a clean MOT makes the Bentley a potentially sound acquisition, provided the buyer confirms that time‑related maintenance has been observed.
