2016 Bentley Continental 4.0L Petrol · MA16 HBJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 1 July 2025 at 46,804 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable and well-maintained mechanical state. This trend across the last five years suggests the car has been operated without significant mechanical failures or structural degradation that typically trigger a test failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,680 miles per year. Between the November 2021 test at 30,609 miles and the July 2025 test at 46,804 miles, the car covered 16,195 miles. This low usage suggests limited exposure, which generally preserves the drivetrain components, engine, and braking systems. However, the lack of high-speed mileage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and fluid seals if the vehicle has sat for long stationary periods between tests. While the record shows no recorded faults, a buyer must focus on components susceptible to low-mileage storage. A physical inspection should target the air suspension bellows for signs of cracking or perished rubber, as these often fail when vehicles are used infrequently. The brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-frequency use prevents the pads from cleaning the rotors effectively. Additionally, the age of the tyres should be verified against the tread depth, as rubber compounds harden over time regardless of the mileage driven.
