2015 Bentley Flying Spur 6.0L Petrol · MK15 OEC

A recurring pattern of wear regarding the front upper suspension arm bushes and brake discs defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, although it has maintained a consistent pass record, including the most recent test on 9 September 2026. While the record shows several years of clean tests between 2023 and 2025, the repeated appearance of suspension bush advisories between 2019 and 2022 suggests these components are subject to significant operational stress. The latest result introduces a new advisory for an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear, indicating a current requirement for consumable replacement. The recorded mileage of 90,854 miles is typical for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,259 miles per year. This steady rate of accumulation suggests the car has been used regularly rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of standing or the accelerated wear of high-mileage motorway use. Mechanically, this usage profile means that while primary drivetrain components have seen moderate use, the chassis and suspension have been subjected to consistent loads, which aligns with the historical advisories regarding suspension bush deterioration. Attention should be directed toward the front suspension geometry and the condition of the upper suspension arm pins and bushes. Given that these were flagged repeatedly across multiple tests, a test drive should focus on detecting any subtle knocks or clunks when traversing uneven road surfaces or during low-speed manoeuvring. Any perceived vagueness in the steering response or a tendency for the vehicle to drift could indicate that the previously noted bush wear has progressed or that the current tyre edge wear is a symptom of misalignment. The braking system also warrants scrutiny due to the history of worn brake discs recorded on both the front and rear axles in previous years. The buyer should check for any pedal judder or pulsations during deceleration, which would suggest disc warping or uneven surface wear. Finally, the current advisory regarding the offside front tyre requires immediate verification; the edge wear specifically suggests a potential issue with wheel alignment or tracking that should be rectified to prevent premature wear on any newly fitted tyres.
