Our Verdict
A highly attractive prospect for a collector or enthusiast due to its exceptionally low mileage. Proceed with caution regarding the high costs of maintaining such a large-capacity engine.
The primary focus for this vehicle should be verifying the service history to ensure the low mileage has been accompanied by regular, specialist maintenance. With only 24,403 miles on the odometer, you must confirm that fluids, seals, and rubber components have been changed according to time intervals rather than just mileage, as long periods of inactivity can be as damaging as high usage.
When negotiating, ask for detailed records of any work carried out on the 6761cc engine. Given the rarity of the Brooklands model, ensure any recent work was performed by a Bentley specialist. Check for any signs of fluid leaks or perished hoses that may have occurred during its periods of low usage.
Running costs for this Bentley will be significantly higher than a standard vehicle. The 6.8-litre petrol engine sits in a high tax bracket, and fuel economy is expected to be low, reflecting its displacement and weight.
Insurance groups for vehicles of this calibre are typically very high, and maintenance costs for specialist parts and labour will be substantial. Expect the annual running cost to be high, driven primarily by fuel consumption and the necessity of specialist mechanical oversight.
While the MOT history shows no defects across the five recorded tests, you should perform a thorough visual inspection of the silver paintwork and interior for any signs of age-related deterioration or storage issues.
Specifically, inspect the engine bay for any signs of oil weeping, which is common in high-capacity luxury engines, and check the condition of the tyres; at 24,403 miles, they may be aged rather than worn. Given the lack of MOT failures, focus your inspection on the mechanical integrity of the complex electronics and the condition of the braking system components.
This 2008 Bentley Brooklands is a remarkably low-mileage example, having covered only 24,403 miles in approximately 18 years. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes since 2021 with no recorded defects or failures. While the documentation shows a clean testing record, the significant 6.8L engine size and age mean maintenance should be scrutinised heavily.
There is no aggregate MOT data available to provide a statistical reliability profile for the Bentley Brooklands.
