2002 Bentley Arnage 6.8L Petrol · LE02 UZP

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-20 recorded several minor defects, including front headlamp lens deterioration, a severely deteriorated offside front upper suspension arm ball joint dust cover, and underinflated tyres. The vehicle’s 109,450-mile odometer reading aligns with its 24-year age, averaging roughly 4,560 miles annually. This low mileage suggests either light use or extended periods of inactivity, which can lead to component degradation from lack of use. Recurring mechanical issues include brake pad wear, headlamp lens defects, and suspension component deterioration. Brake pads were noted as “wearing thin” in 2025 and 2024, while headlamp lens problems persisted from 2025 onward. Suspension arm dust covers showed severe deterioration in 2022 and 2026, indicating ongoing exposure to road conditions or poor maintenance. These patterns suggest a gradual, consistent decline in certain components rather than sudden deterioration. The trend appears stable, with no significant new defects emerging in the latest MOT. However, the persistence of issues like suspension wear and tyre condition (e.g., cracking, underinflation) highlights potential long-term risks. The low mileage does not guarantee mechanical health, as age-related wear—particularly in rubber and plastic components—can accelerate independently of usage.
