1926 Bentley Simplex Coupe 6.6L Petrol · YR 633

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded across six consecutive MOT tests from 2020 to 2026. The most recent 2026-01-08 test at 24,455 miles confirmed compliance, with no advisories or failures. All prior tests, including the 2024-12-05 and 2023-11-16 assessments, similarly showed no issues. This consistent pass record suggests the car has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns evident in the documented history. The mileage progression reveals minimal usage, with the odometer increasing by just 167 miles over six years. From 24,288 miles in 2020 to 24,455 miles in 2026, the car has seen an average of 28 miles annually, far below typical usage for its age. This low mileage may indicate infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate component degradation if not periodically exercised. The MOT intervals, spaced 12–14 months apart, align with standard practice but offer limited insight into operational wear due to the car’s static condition. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for hardened bushes or coil springs, as prolonged inactivity can cause stiffness or failure. The braking system, including calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for corrosion or binding, particularly if the car has not been driven regularly. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on the underbody and chassis for rust, given the vehicle’s age. While the MOT history shows no immediate risks, the low mileage and extended intervals necessitate a thorough pre-purchase examination of these critical components.
