2010 Bentley Mulsanne 6.8L Petrol · SAJ 1D

A consistent track record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with five consecutive MOT passes recorded between 2022 and 2026 without a single defect or advisory noted. This stability is evidenced by the most recent clean pass on 8 January 2026, indicating that the vehicle has met all DVSA minimum safety and environmental standards without requiring remedial work for several consecutive years. The recorded mileage of 49,771 miles is low for a sixteen year old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,111 miles per year. Such a low annual accumulation suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or has been used for very limited journeys. Mechanically, while this results in reduced wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, it increases the likelihood of degradation in rubber components, seals, and suspension bushings that rely on regular movement to remain supple. Because the MOT record is devoid of failures or advisories, there are no specific flagged components to monitor. However, a prospective buyer should use the test drive to verify the operational integrity of the air suspension and electronic damping systems, which are complex and not always fully stressed during a standard DVSA inspection. Listen for any unusual knocks or thumps over undulating surfaces and ensure the ride height remains consistent across all four corners. Attention should be paid to the braking system to ensure there is no binding or uneven pedal feel, as low-use vehicles can develop seized calipers or pitted discs. Check for any steering pull or vibration at motorway speeds to confirm the alignment and suspension geometry remain true. While the MOT history is clean, a physical inspection of the underbody for any signs of surface corrosion or fluid leaks from the engine and gearbox is recommended to complement the official records.
