2016 Bentley Continental 4.0L Petrol · RAL 1

The vehicle presents a stable and fully compliant roadworthiness status based on the latest MOT test conducted on 30 September 2025. No defects were recorded during this most recent inspection, confirming that the chassis, braking system, and emissions remain within legal limits. The history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests with zero failures over the last five years, indicating no emerging mechanical trends or recurring structural weaknesses. Mileage accumulation remains exceptionally low at approximately 189 miles per year since the first recorded test in October 2021. The odometer reading progressed from 1,382 miles to 1,889 miles across five annual inspections, suggesting the car has spent significant time stationary rather than driven regularly. This minimal usage pattern reduces wear on consumables like tyres and belts but may mask issues related to long-term fluid stagnation or battery health which standard mileage-based wear checks do not always reveal. Buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of seals, rubber bushes, and brake calipers despite the clean test history. Low-mileage classics often suffer from seized suspension components or binding brakes due to lack of movement, even when previous tests showed no faults. Verify that all fluids have been changed recently given the extended periods between driving intervals, as stagnant oil can degrade internally regardless of external roadworthiness certificates.
