2007 Bentley Arnage 6.8L Petrol · RX56 CXV

The most recent MOT, dated 9 October 2025, shows a clean pass at 47,863 miles with no recorded defects. The four previous tests (2024‑2021) are all identical in outcome – each a pass with no faults noted. This consistent lack of recorded defects suggests that, at least from the MOT examiner’s perspective, the vehicle has not presented any safety‑critical or major mechanical issues over the past five years. The pattern is therefore stable rather than worsening. There is no evidence of emerging problems such as brake wear, suspension faults, or emission failures that would typically appear as advisory or failure items on an MOT. Because each test is a year apart and all are clean, the trend can be described as flat and reassuring, provided the car has been maintained according to the manufacturer’s schedule. At 19 years old the recorded mileage of 47,863 miles works out to roughly 2,500 miles per year, which is well below the average for a vehicle of this age. Low mileage can indicate light usage or long periods of storage. Either situation can be benign, but it also raises a couple of considerations: components that are rarely exercised (e.g., seals, rubber bushings, and the drivetrain) may have suffered from lack of movement, while the car may also have been kept in a relatively gentle environment, reducing wear on brakes, tyres, and suspension. Because the mileage figure alone does not reveal how the car was driven, the implication for wear is ambiguous – it could mean less overall wear, or it could mask potential deterioration from inactivity.
