2007 Bentley Arnage 6.8L Petrol · WA07 ETY

The vehicle holds a valid MOT passed on 30 September 2025 at 122,607 miles, yet the record reveals a distinct shift from stable condition to emerging defects. Previous tests in April 2023 and April 2022 showed no issues, but the latest inspection flagged multiple faults including worn brake discs, a defective exhaust mounting, damaged suspension piping, and corrosion on both front and rear sub-frames. This pattern indicates a worsening trend where minor wear has progressed into structural and safety-related concerns that require immediate attention before road use. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,453 miles per year across the recorded history. The car covered only 892 miles between the April 2023 pass and the September 2025 test, suggesting extended periods of inactivity rather than heavy usage. However, the gap between the May 2021 test and March 2020 test saw a larger jump of over 1,100 miles, which may reflect seasonal driving patterns or variable maintenance intervals during those years. Buyers must prioritize an in-person inspection of the braking system given the recent scoring on front and rear discs, as pitting can compromise stopping power despite passing the minimum depth requirement. The damaged offside suspension pipe and corroded sub-frames warrant close scrutiny for rust progression or potential weakness under load, especially since these components appeared clean in earlier tests. The binding front service brake noted in May 2021 suggests lingering caliper or guide pin issues that may have resurfaced or worsened alongside the current disc wear.
