2020 Bentley Continental Flying Spur W12 A 6.0L Petrol · LJ20 VSV

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 30 August 2025 at 14,998 miles, though this followed a failure on the same day for an inoperative engine malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), a critical emissions-related fault. The swift rectification and immediate retest indicate a responsive maintenance approach for this specific issue, resulting in an overall stable trend with no recurring structural or mechanical failures in the record. The low annual mileage of approximately 2,500 miles is consistent, with recorded distances increasing by 1,363 miles between April 2023 and August 2024, then by 2,025 miles over the subsequent year, showing steady but minimal use without significant gaps. A buyer must prioritise a thorough diagnostic check of the engine management system to confirm the MIL now functions correctly and to identify any stored fault codes that may have triggered the 2025 failure, as this could indicate a lingering sensor or emissions issue. The only recurring advisories were for superficial cuts to the sidewalls of three tyres noted in April 2023; while not deep enough to compromise structural integrity, these should be physically inspected for any enlargement or cord exposure, and the wheel alignment verified to rule out underlying suspension damage or poor driving conditions. The absence of any advisories or failures concerning suspension components, brake discs, or structural corrosion in the history is positive, but the low mileage necessitates a close examination of brake discs for potential corrosion and all rubber components, including suspension bushes and engine mounts, for age-related deterioration from infrequent use.
