2006 Bentley Continental 6.0L Petrol · N77 SHG

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 30 January 2026 at 64,449 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable trend across the last four years, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained or kept in conditions that do not trigger recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage data reveals a significant shift in usage patterns. Between July 2022 and July 2023, the car covered 34,616 miles in a single year, which is exceptionally high for a Bentley of this age. However, since July 2023, usage has dropped sharply, with only 2,717 miles recorded before the January 2026 test. The current average of 3,222 miles per year is very low for a twenty-year-old luxury vehicle, but such low mileage often masks issues related to rubber-based components and fluid breakdown if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. Despite the lack of recorded MOT faults, a buyer must focus on specific areas common to low-mileage luxury tourers. The long intervals between tests and the recent drop in mileage necessitate a thorough inspection of the air suspension system for leaks or perished bellows, as these degrade without use. Check the brakes for seized calipers or corroded discs, which can occur when vehicles are driven infrequently. The structural integrity of the chassis should be verified for hidden rust, though the MOT record has not flagged any significant structural weaknesses to date.
