2016 Bentley Bentayga 6.0L Petrol · MA16 HBG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent lack of attention regarding basic consumables. While the most recent test on January 15 2026 at 84,682 miles resulted in a pass, it repeated a long-standing advisory for the nearside rear tyre being worn close to the legal limit and showing wear on the edge. This indicates a recurring failure to address simple tyre issues despite multiple years of MOT warnings. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use luxury vehicle profile, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between the May 2021 test at 61,180 miles and the May 2024 test at 71,699 miles, the car covered 10,519 miles, followed by a more rapid 12,983-mile interval between 2024 and early 2026. This recent acceleration suggests the vehicle is being used more frequently, though the previous standing can lead to degradation of rubber components and fluid seals in older engines. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, as the repeated edge wear on the nearside rear tyre suggests a persistent alignment issue or a worn bushing. Given the age and weight of the vehicle, the air suspension system and electronic dampers should be checked for leaks or signs of fatigue. The lack of recorded structural corrosion or brake failures in the history is positive, but the repeated tyre advisories suggest the owner may have overlooked other preventative maintenance tasks inherent to high-performance SUVs.
