2006 Bentley Continental 6.0L Petrol · T6 HCJ

The 2006 Bentley Continental passed its most recent MOT on 9 July 2026 at 79,094 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable. Across the five available tests from 23 December 2021 to July 2026, the vehicle cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure, indicating consistent mechanical condition and responsible upkeep by previous owners. Recorded mileage sits at 79,094 against a 20-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,955 miles per year. The DVSA data shows light and steady use: 73,471 miles in December 2021, 74,422 in January 2023, 75,567 in January 2024, 77,106 in April 2025, and 79,094 in July 2026. A gap exists between the January 2023 and December 2021 tests of just under twelve months, with the remaining intervals within standard annual cycles. No rapid accumulation or sudden drops appear. Low annual mileage of this order often means prolonged standing periods, which can age rubber components and brake discs through corrosion even when the car presents clean on paper. The clean MOT history leaves no tester-flagged faults to track, so no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, binding caliper, or structural corrosion trends exist in the record. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the brake discs for surface pitting from inactivity, check suspension bushes and tyres for perishable rubber degradation, and verify the exhaust emissions system given the W12 engine's complexity. The absence of advisories across four years suggests basic upkeep was not skipped, yet official tests capture only road-legal thresholds at the time of testing.
