2004 Bentley Continental 6.0L Petrol · W12 DBC

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a clean pass on 20 October 2025 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend has stabilised since a single failure recorded in late October 2022. Since that failure, the vehicle has undergone three consecutive annual tests without any recorded faults, indicating that the specific issue which caused the October 2022 failure was addressed and has not recurred. At a recorded mileage of 81,711 miles, the car has averaged approximately 3,714 miles per year over its 22-year lifespan. This low annual usage suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or was used very sparingly. The record shows consistent annual testing between 2022 and 2025, though the short interval between the October 2022 failure and the November 2022 pass suggests a rapid retest was performed immediately after the initial defect. A buyer should focus a physical inspection on components susceptible to degradation from age and low mileage rather than wear. While the MOT records are clean, the low mileage often implies that rubber components such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and coolant hoses may be cracking despite minimal travel. Given the age of the Bentley, a thorough check of the structural integrity for corrosion on the chassis is essential, as the MOT test does not detect surface rust until it reaches a structural threshold. Buying score: 68 Risk level: Low.
