2016 Bentley Bentayga 6.0L Petrol · LD66 GCK

This vehicle passed its most recent MOT in June 2025, but you should approach it with caution due to a significant failure just twelve days prior. The history shows a car that generally maintains well between tests but suffered a sudden, severe incident involving impact damage and electrical faults. The main risk pattern here is physical damage to the running gear. The failure on 12 June 2025 recorded both front road wheels as slightly distorted and both rear tyres with cuts exposing the ply or cords. This combination strongly suggests the vehicle hit a large pothole, debris, or a kerb at speed. While the car passed a retest shortly after, you must verify if the damaged wheels were properly repaired or replaced, as distorted rims can cause persistent vibration and suspension wear. The condition trend is stable in terms of general maintenance, as the 2022, 2023, and 2024 tests were largely clean or carried only minor tyre wear advisories. However, the 2025 failure represents a sharp spike in defects. The cluster of electronic warnings during the failure—including the engine management light, electronic parking brake fault, drive system fault, and start-stop malfunction—is worrying. While these were cleared for the pass, the simultaneous appearance of multiple system errors on a luxury SUV could indicate underlying electrical gremlins or sensor damage caused by the impact.
