This 2005 Bentley has 8 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 48,786 miles. While it has a clean failure history, the consistent wear on critical components suggests significant upcoming maintenance.
The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging 3,146 miles/year, with a significant drop in recent years from 2,140 miles/year to 1,342 miles/year between 2022 and 2024.
Things to check
- Very low annual mileage (3,146 mi/yr) for a 21-year-old vehicle raises concerns about limited use or hidden issues.
- The 2021 and 2025 MOT gaps suggest periods of non-use or potential SORN, which can impact component longevity.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed — clean at last test
- No MOT failures recorded across 7 tests, indicating a generally well-maintained vehicle.
- Valid MOT until February 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage suggests a well-preserved vehicle with minimal wear-and-tear issues.
