Our Verdict
A solid option for a high-performance grand tourer with a consistent MOT record. Proceed with caution regarding the high mileage relative to the model average, but the recent clean history is a positive sign.
When considering this specific Bentley, your primary focus should be on the service history, which is not reflected in the MOT data. Given the 3,993cc engine, ensuring that oil changes and major component inspections have been performed according to Bentley's strict schedules is vital.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at nearly 80,000 miles, this vehicle has been driven much more than the typical sample in our database. Check for any evidence of suspension wear or air conditioning issues, as these are common areas of concern for luxury vehicles of this age and mileage.
Running a 4.0L petrol Bentley involves substantial costs. Expect high fuel consumption given the engine size and vehicle weight, alongside a premium insurance group and potentially high road tax.
Maintenance costs for a Continental are typically high, especially as components reach the mileage levels seen here. You should budget for significant annual running costs, likely exceeding £3,000-£4,000 when factoring in fuel, tax, insurance, and the specialized parts required for this model.
While the recent MOT history for V8LFK shows no defects, you should inspect the tyres and headlamps, as these are the most frequent failure points for this model aggregate.
Specifically for this 2015 model, check the condition of the braking system and any signs of leaks around the engine, as the aggregate data suggests engine-related issues can occur. Given the mileage has surpassed 79,000 miles, a thorough inspection of the suspension components is highly recommended to ensure there is no excessive play or noise.
This 2015 Bentley Continental features a 3.99L petrol engine and has covered 79,399 miles as of its last MOT in February 2026. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model aggregate average of 2,380 miles per year, the vehicle has secured four consecutive MOT passes since 2022. The most recent tests in 2024 and 2026 recorded no defects, suggesting recent compliance with UK road standards.
The Bentley Continental model shows a 92.1% average MOT pass rate across the 12,945 vehicles analysed.
