2014 Bentley Flying Spur 4.0L Petrol · LD14 JFZ

This Bentley Flying Spur has demonstrated a consistent roadworthiness record over the past five MOT cycles, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the tests conducted between December 2021 and October 2025. The most recent inspection on 23 October 2025—just under ten months prior to today—confirmed the vehicle met all DVSA standards without exception. While this suggests a stable maintenance history, the lack of advisories or minor faults does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly given the vehicle’s age and luxury status. The recorded mileage of 49,109 miles over approximately 12 years equates to an average of around 4,092 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this class and age. Such low mileage could indicate prolonged periods of inactivity, which may accelerate certain forms of degradation—particularly in fluid systems, suspension components, and rubber seals—even if the MOT history shows no mechanical failures. There are no gaps in MOT testing that would raise immediate red flags, though the absence of any advisories or defects in prior tests also means there is no historical data to confirm whether minor wear has been addressed proactively. Given the vehicle’s age and the lack of recorded faults, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear luxury components that are not routinely tested under MOT standards. The suspension system—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for fatigue or corrosion, as prolonged standing can compromise rubber and metal integrity. Brake systems, including calipers, pads, and hydraulic lines, warrant scrutiny, especially if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods, as moisture and lack of use can lead to binding or corrosion. Additionally, the electrical system, including battery health and wiring integrity, should be checked, as luxury vehicles often suffer from degraded connections or corrosion in less accessible areas. Finally, a thorough inspection of the engine bay for fluid leaks, seal condition, and any signs of oil or coolant degradation is essential, as these are not typically flagged in MOT tests but can indicate underlying neglect.
