2007 Bentley Continental 6.0L Petrol · LF07 FLW

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, following a successful MOT test in October 2025 at 47,756 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though a recent failure just twenty-six miles prior to that pass indicates a lapse in exposed cords on both the nearside and offside front tyres. The immediate rectification of these faults suggests the owner responds to safety-critical failures, yet it also highlights a lack of proactive tyre monitoring prior to annual testing. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging only approximately 2,500 miles per year. There is a significant four-year gap between the 2020 and November 2024 tests, during which the car covered 14,917 miles. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, such long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components. The lack of recorded advisories across several years suggests the vehicle has been stored in controlled conditions rather than subjected to heavy daily use. A physical inspection must focus on the condition of the suspension system and bushings, as the vehicle's age and low mileage increase the risk of dry rot and cracking in rubber components. The buyer should check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which frequently occurs on cars that sit stationary for extended periods. Given the recent tyre failure for exposed cords, a thorough check of the age and manufacture date of all tyres is essential to ensure they have not perished despite having sufficient tread depth.
