2016 Bentley Flying Spur 6.0L Petrol · N4 RUD

The 2016 Bentley Flying Spur presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent 2025 test at 15,670 miles confirmed compliance, reinforcing a consistent maintenance pattern. No recurring issues or escalating faults were flagged across the six-year span, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained and operated within acceptable parameters. The mileage growth from 7,598 miles in 2021 to 15,670 miles in 2025 averages 1,567 miles annually, significantly below typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle. This low mileage could indicate infrequent use or extended periods of inactivity, which may affect components like tyres, rubber seals, and battery health. Notably, the 2022 test at 9,035 miles showed a 1,800-mile jump from the 2021 7,598-mile record, raising questions about potential gaps in service or storage conditions. However, the absence of defects in all tests mitigates immediate concerns. A buyer should prioritise inspecting for signs of prolonged inactivity, such as dry-rotted tyres, corroded brake components, or degraded suspension bushes. While no structural issues or emissions failures were recorded, the low mileage may mask wear on drivetrain elements like the clutch or transmission. A thorough check of the exhaust system for corrosion and the brake discs for warping is advisable, as these can deteriorate during periods of limited use. The MOT history offers no red flags, but the vehicle’s usage pattern warrants careful scrutiny of hidden mechanical stressors.
