Our Verdict
A highly recommended purchase for those seeking a luxury SUV with a disciplined usage history. The vehicle has been maintained to a high standard with a clean record of MOT passes.
Given the prestige of this 3.9L diesel engine, the most critical element is the service history. Ensure that the oil changes have been performed at the recommended intervals, as neglecting a high-torque diesel engine can lead to costly turbocharger or DPF issues. Check for a full Bentley main dealer history to preserve the vehicle's resale value.
Negotiate based on the current state of the tyres. While the most recent MOT was a clean pass, previous years show a pattern of tyres reaching their legal limit just before the test. Verify that a fresh set of premium tyres has been fitted recently to avoid an immediate expense upon purchase.
Owning a Bentayga involves significant overheads. The 3.9L diesel engine provides better efficiency than the petrol variants, but fuel consumption remains high due to the vehicle's weight. You will also face high annual road tax and a high insurance group, reflecting its luxury status.
Maintenance costs for Bentley components are premium. While the MOT history is clean, routine servicing and the cost of replacing large, high-performance tyres (as seen in the 2022, 2023, and 2025 records) will be the primary recurring expenses.
Focus your inspection on the tyres and suspension. The MOT history from 2022, 2023, and 2025 specifically highlights wear on both the front and rear edges of the tyres; this can sometimes indicate a need for wheel alignment or a sign of the vehicle's heavy curb weight affecting tyre longevity.
Inspect the red paintwork for any stone chips or fading, as red is a high-maintenance colour. Finally, check the interior leather and electronics for wear, though the relatively low mileage of 66,371 suggests the cabin should remain in excellent condition.
This 2017 Red Bentley Bentayga is in impressive condition, having covered 66,371 miles over nine years. Its MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no major mechanical failures recorded since 2017. The primary recurring theme in its history is the timely replacement of tyres, suggesting a well-maintained vehicle that hasn't been abused.
Aggregate data is unavailable, but this specific vehicle demonstrates strong reliability with no recorded MOT defects over five years.
