AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Bentley has 17 MOT tests on record with a 94% pass rate and 28,974 miles. The vehicle's age and low annual usage also present inherent wear concerns.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,711 miles/year, with a notable 4-year MOT gap in 2025 and a recent 1-year period of very low usage (Jan 2026).
Things to check
- MOT HISTORY GAPS: A 4-year MOT gap (2025) is a significant red flag for unexplained off-road periods.
- RECURRING ENGINE ADVISORIES: Three engine-related advisories across 2019, 2020, and 2022 MOTs indicate a persistent underlying issue.
- LOW ANNUAL MILEAGE: Average of 4,711 miles/year is well below UK average, suggesting infrequent use and potential fluid degradation.
Working in its favour
- Clean MOT PASS RECORD: 8 consecutive passes with no failures recorded since 2013.
- Valid MOT Until 2027: The vehicle has a long, valid MOT
