2014 Bentley Mulsanne 6.8L Petrol · RYN 11

The most recent MOT (3 Nov 2025) was passed at 19 788 mi, but it recorded two front‑tyre issues – slight damage/cracking on both the nearside and offside front tyres – and mild wear on the front brake discs (worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened). This is the only MOT where defects were noted; the previous four tests (2024‑2021) were clean. The pattern that emerges is a focus on the front axle: tyres now show early signs of ageing, and the front discs are beginning to show surface wear. There is no evidence of worsening problems elsewhere, and the defect list has not grown beyond the front‑wheel area. Overall the condition trend appears stable, with the only new concerns being the tyre surface and modest brake‑disc wear. Mileage is exceptionally low for a 12‑year‑old Bentley – about 1 650 mi per year. Such low use can mean the car has been driven gently, which is good for drivetrain longevity, but it also suggests the tyres may have been sitting for long periods. Tyres age as well as wear, so cracking can develop even with few miles if the car is stored for extended times. For a buyer, the first things to check in person are: The condition of the front tyres – look for dry‑rot, sidewall cracks, and uneven tread wear. Consider whether the tyres need replacement soon.
