Our Verdict
This 2015 Bentley Continental GT is an exceptionally well-maintained example with a very low mileage profile. While the car presents beautifully in its MOT history, prospective buyers must be prepared for the high-tier maintenance costs inherent to a V8 Bentley.
When inspecting this vehicle, the primary focus should be the service history. A car of this calibre requires specialist maintenance; ensure it has been serviced annually by either a Bentley main dealer or a reputable independent specialist. Check that the service book is fully stamped and that any major work, such as brake or suspension component replacements, has been documented.
Negotiate based on the tyre advisory noted in the 2026 MOT. Even if the cut is not deep, a vehicle of this performance level demands premium rubber in perfect condition. Ensure the electronic systems, including the infotainment and air suspension, are fully functional, as these can be costly to repair if neglected.
Running a 4.0-litre V8 Bentley is a significant financial commitment. You should expect fuel economy to be in the low-to-mid teens in urban driving, and road tax will be at the higher end of the scale. Insurance premiums will also be substantial due to the vehicle's value and performance capability.
Beyond fuel and tax, budget heavily for maintenance. Tyres, brake discs, and pads are expensive consumables for this model. An annual allowance for 'preventative maintenance' is highly recommended to keep this vehicle in its current pristine condition.
Begin your inspection with the tyres; the 2026 MOT advisory regarding a cut in the nearside front tyre should be addressed immediately. Inspect the sidewalls for any signs of cracking or perishing, which can occur on low-mileage cars that have sat for extended periods.
Check the air suspension system by ensuring the car sits level and rises promptly when started. Listen for any knocking or clonking from the suspension during a test drive, as these components are subject to wear. Finally, verify that all electrical features, including the seat adjustments and satellite navigation, operate without hesitation.
With only 28,362 miles covered over 11 years, this blue Continental GT has seen very light usage. The MOT history is exemplary, showing five consecutive passes with only a minor advisory noted in 2026. It represents a rare opportunity to acquire a low-mileage grand tourer, provided the service history is as comprehensive as the MOT record.
While aggregate data is limited, the Continental GT is known for complex engineering that requires diligent upkeep to remain reliable.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2015 model year cars.
- Infotainment System FailureModerate
The main head unit can suffer from hard drive failure or touchscreen desensitisation.
- Lower Control Arm Bush WearModerate
The massive weight of the GT leads to premature wear of the front suspension bushes, affecting handling and tyre wear.
- Turbo Oil Strainer FailureSerious
The twin-turbo W12 models can suffer from clogged oil strainers feeding the turbochargers, leading to oil starvation and turbo failure. This is a particularly expensive repair as both turbos may need replacement.
