AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT on 2025-11-05 at 5,805 miles, which recorded no defects. The 2024-10-23 test at 5,051 miles also showed no issues, confirming a stable maintenance trend over the past 13 months. No recurring faults or structural concerns were flagged in the history, indicating the car has been well-maintained within the recorded period. The mileage of 5,805 miles over five years equates to approximately 1,161 miles annually, significantly below average for a 2021 model. This low usage suggests either light driving or extended periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like batteries, fluids, and rubber seals. The MOT record lacks data beyond 2025, leaving a 10-month gap until the current date, which may obscure potential issues arising from prolonged storage or infrequent use. A buyer should inspect the vehicle’s suspension for signs of dry rot or sagging, as low mileage can mask wear in bushings or coil springs. Check brake discs and calipers for corrosion, particularly if the car was stored without regular movement. The exhaust system and underbody should be scrutinized for rust, as stagnant conditions may have compromised integrity. No advisories in the MOT history suggest no immediate risks, but the sparse data warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s condition beyond recorded tests.

Our Verdict

Recommended for buyers seeking an except

Given the extremely low mileage, the primary focus should be on the service history to ensure the vehicle has been serviced according to Bentley's time-based intervals rather than just mileage. Check for evidence of battery maintenance or the use of a trickle charger, as luxury vehicles with very low usage can suffer from battery degradation.

Verify the age and condition of the tyres. While the mileage is low, tyres can perish over time, and tyre-related issues are one of the top failure reasons for this model aggregate. Ensure all documentation for the 3996cc engine's maintenance is present and up to date.

The 4.0L V8 engine will incur high fuel costs and places the vehicle in a high road tax bracket. Insurance will be in a high group reflecting the vehicle's value and performance capabilities.

Maintenance costs for Bentley vehicles are typically high due to the requirement for specialised parts and labour. Prospective buyers should budget for significant annual expenditure to maintain the vehicle to manufacturer standards.

Inspect the tyres for any signs of sidewall cracking or 'flat-spotting' caused by long periods of inactivity, as tyres are a common failure point for this model. Test the parking brake efficiency, as this is another noted weakness in the aggregate data for the Continental GT.

Perform a full check of the interior electronics and infotainment system to ensure no glitches have developed during periods of low use. Check the registration plates for any damage or fading, as this is a frequent MOT failure reason for this model.

This black 2021 Bentley Continental GT V8 has a very low recorded mileage of 5,805 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. Its MOT history shows two passes with no defects or advisories recorded. It represents a low-use example of a model that maintains a high aggregate pass rate of 95.8% across 1,253 analysed vehicles.

The Continental GT V8 has a strong reliability reputation, evidenced by a 95.8% average MOT pass rate across 1,253 analysed vehicles.
