2017 Bentley Mulsanne 6.8L Petrol · NSG 23

The most recent MOT, dated 8 July 2025, was a clean pass at 23,694 miles with no recorded defects. This mirrors the previous four years of MOTs – each test in July from 2021 to 2024 also passed without any advisory or failure notes. The pattern is therefore completely stable: there are no emerging faults, no recurring advisories, and no evidence of deteriorating components over the last five years. At roughly 2,600 miles per year, the Bentley Mulsanne has been driven far less than the average for a nine‑year‑old luxury saloon. Low mileage can be a sign of gentle, infrequent use, which generally reduces wear on consumables such as brakes, tyres, suspension bushings and drivetrain components. However, it can also indicate long periods of inactivity, during which seals can dry out, corrosion can develop, and rubber parts may become brittle. Because the mileage figure alone does not reveal how the car has been stored or driven, the implication for wear is ambiguous – the vehicle could be in excellent mechanical condition, or it could have hidden issues from prolonged storage. Given the spotless MOT record, the primary risk for a buyer is not a known defect but the possibility of unseen wear or deterioration that the MOT did not capture. A thorough in‑person inspection should therefore focus on: Visual and tactile checks of the suspension and steering components for any signs of corrosion, cracked bushings or leaks. Brake pads, discs and fluid condition – low mileage does not guarantee the brakes are fresh.
