2002 Bentley Arnage 6.8L Petrol · LG02 AVK

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in April 2026 at 17,926 miles where no defects were recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the car consistently meeting testing standards over the last decade. While minor consumable issues have appeared in the past, the absence of structural failures or mechanical regressions suggests the vehicle has been maintained with reasonable care despite its low usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old Bentley, averaging approximately 747 miles per year. There is a significant four-year gap in records between 2018 and 2022, during which the car covered only 5,301 miles. Since 2022, usage has increased slightly, with roughly 4,000 miles covered in the last four years. This low-use pattern often indicates the vehicle sits for long periods, which presents specific risks related to material degradation rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age and lack of active use. The 2022 test flagged front tyres with cracking and low tread, indicating that the rubber compound may be aging regardless of remaining depth. The 2025 advisory regarding pitted and scored rear brake discs suggests surface corrosion, likely from the vehicle sitting stationary. Detailed inspection is required of the suspension bushes for perished cracking, the condition of the air suspension system, and the integrity of various fluid seals for leaks, which are common failure points on low-mileage vehicles of this era.
