2016 Bentley Flying Spur 6.0L Petrol · LE16 ORZ

The 2016 Bentley Flying Spur presents a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass on 1 August 2023 at 28,284 miles. The tester recorded zero defects in the most recent test, confirming the vehicle met all structural and mechanical standards at that point. A clear MOT record over the last three tests demonstrates consistent upkeep. Averaging just 2,828 miles annually, the odometer reading of 28,284 miles is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The record shows a distinct shift in usage patterns. Between 5 August 2021 and 11 November 2022, the car covered 8,851 miles, yet the subsequent period from 11 November 2022 to 1 August 2023 saw a mere 1,691 miles. This sharp reduction indicates prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to flat-spotting on tyres and surface corrosion on brake discs despite the low overall distance covered. The August 2020 test flagged deep cuts on the sidewalls of both front tyres, a defect that typically demands immediate replacement. Although subsequent tests recorded no tyre advisories, a buyer must inspect the current tyres for age-related sidewall cracking and dry rot, as rubber degrades over time regardless of mileage. Given the recent prolonged inactivity, a thorough inspection of the braking system is essential. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not binding. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration. Assess the underbody and structural integrity carefully for corrosion, as extended periods of standing can accelerate decay in subframes and suspension mounting points.
