Our Verdict
This is a highly recommended example of a 2018 Bentley Continental GT, particularly due to its consistent MOT record. The absence of any recorded defects across five years of testing suggests a vehicle that has avoided common mechanical or structural failures during its testing history.
When inspecting this Continental GT, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record, as MOT tests are not a substitute for scheduled maintenance. While the MOT history shows no defects, you should still check for any signs of wear on the tyres and brake pads, which are the most common failure points for this model across the wider dataset.
Negotiate based on the documented mileage and ensure all electronic features are functioning correctly. Given the large 5950cc engine, confirm that any recent major service intervals have been met. Ask for documentation regarding any work carried out between the 33,363-mile test in 2025 and the current mileage to ensure continuity of care.
Running this 5.9L petrol engine will involve significant costs. Expect high fuel consumption typical of a large-capacity grand tourer, and the tax band for a vehicle of this specification will be at the top tier. Insurance groups for Bentley models are also high, reflecting both the vehicle's value and performance capabilities.
Maintenance costs for a Bentley are substantially higher than for standard consumer vehicles. While the MOT history has been clear, budget for premium parts and specialised labour. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and a contingency for maintenance, would be substantial.
Although this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT failures, the aggregate data for this model identifies tyres, headlamps, and brake pads as the primary reasons for failure. You should pay close attention to the tread depth and condition of the tyres, as well as the functionality and clarity of the headlamp units.
Additionally, inspect the braking system thoroughly. Given the weight and power of the Continental GT, brake wear is a critical maintenance item. Check for any uneven wear or noise during test drives, even though no issues were flagged in the recent 35,286-mile MOT.
Registered in June 2018, this Grey Bentley Continental GT has covered 35,286 miles as of its most recent MOT in March 2026. The vehicle shows a consistent pattern of annual testing with no recorded defects or failures since its first recorded MOT in 2022. Given the model's average annual mileage of 3,211, this vehicle's usage is slightly above that average but remains relatively low for a high-performance 5.9L petrol engine.
The Bentley Continental GT shows a high average MOT pass rate of 95.8% across nearly 3,000 analysed vehicles.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2018 model year cars.
- Lower Control Arm Bush WearModerate
The massive weight of the GT leads to premature wear of the front suspension bushes, affecting handling and tyre wear.
- Turbo Oil Strainer FailureSerious
The twin-turbo W12 models can suffer from clogged oil strainers feeding the turbochargers, leading to oil starvation and turbo failure. This is a particularly expensive repair as both turbos may need replacement.
