Our Verdict
This 2010 Bentley Mulsanne offers prestige but requires careful inspection of tyre condition and power steering components. The high mileage and recurring MOT issues suggest potential maintenance risks.
Prioritise checking the condition of all four tyres, as repeated MOT failures cite cracking or perishing. Inspect the power steering system for leaks and ensure the vehicle has a full service history to verify maintenance. Negotiate the price due to the recurring issues, and consider a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist Bentley mechanic. Be wary of potential hidden costs from high-mileage luxury car ownership.
The 6.75L petrol engine delivers strong performance but sacrifices fuel economy, likely averaging 18-22 mpg. With a CO2 rating of 279g/km, the annual road tax is £490. Insurance groups for luxury vehicles like the Mulsanne typically fall into high brackets (Group 50+). Maintenance costs could exceed £1,000 annually for parts like tyres, power steering components, and fluid replacements. Estimated annual running cost: £2,000-£2,500.
Focus on tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as four MOTs note cracking. Check for power steering fluid leaks under the vehicle and inspect the steering rack for wear. Verify that the engine oil and coolant levels are maintained. Examine the interior for signs of excessive wear given the high mileage, and confirm the HVAC system functions properly. A full diagnostic scan is recommended to check for stored fault codes.
The 2010 Bentley Mulsanne has a mixed MOT history with recurring tyre cracking and power steering seepage. While the 2019 MOT showed no defects, four out of five recent MOTs highlight tyre degradation and minor fluid leaks. At 48,267 miles, the mileage is slightly above average for a 14-year-old vehicle, though the 6.75L petrol engine remains a hallmark of luxury performance.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Bentley Mulsanne, but this vehicle's history suggests potential vulnerabilities in tyre longevity and power steering systems.

Common Problems: BENTLEY MULSANNE
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Coolant Expansion Tank Leaks(Moderate)
The plastic expansion tanks can crack or the seals can fail, leading to slow coolant loss.
- 6.75L V8 Turbo Oil Feed Line Leaks(Serious)
The legendary 6.75-litre V8 uses turbo oil feed lines that can develop leaks as they age, leading to oil consumption, potential turbo damage, and in severe cases engine bay fires if oil contacts hot exhaust components.
