Our Verdict
This 2021 Bentley Bentayga presents a strong case for purchase, with a clean MOT history and low mileage for its age. However, its premium price and running costs require careful consideration.
Prioritise verifying service history to confirm regular maintenance, particularly for the 4.0L V8 engine and complex electronics. Negotiate based on its low mileage, but be prepared for premium pricing typical of Bentleys. Check for any unrecorded accidents via the VIN check service. Insist on a pre-purchase inspection focusing on the air suspension system and hybrid components (if applicable).
Petrol fuel economy is expected to be modest due to the large engine, with typical urban figures around 18-20mpg. Road tax will be £1,000 annually under the current UK rates for petrol vehicles over 150g/km CO2. Insurance groups for Bentleys are typically in the highest brackets, with estimates exceeding £1,500/year. Scheduled maintenance costs will be significant, with major services exceeding £1,000. Estimated annual running costs: £2,500-£3,500.
Focus on the 4.0L V8 engine for signs of oil consumption or carbon buildup. Inspect the air suspension system for leaks or unusual noises. Check the condition of the leather upholstery and interior electronics, which are prone to cracking or malfunctioning in older Bentleys. Verify the authenticity of the 33,283-mile odometer reading through service records. Examine the body for stone chips around the front bumper and headlights, common in high-mileage luxury vehicles.
The vehicle has maintained a flawless MOT record across three consecutive annual tests, with mileage consistently below 35,000 miles. As a 2021 model, its low usage suggests careful ownership. While no aggregate reliability data exists for the Bentayga, the absence of defects in its MOT history is encouraging. The Euro 6 AP emissions standard indicates compliance with modern regulations.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Bentley Bentayga model to assess broader reliability trends.
