2023 Bentley Continental GT S V8 Auto

CarHunch is tracking 148 2023 Bentley Continental GT S V8 Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

This Bentley Continental GT S has a 7.4% first-time pass rate—a stark 72.6 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—making it the least reliable newcomer to MOT testing. None of the 148 vehicles recorded dangerous defects, but the pass rate collapse points to systemic issues across the model that buyers need to investigate closely.

With an average mileage of just 11,567 miles at test time, these are nearly new cars, yet they're failing MOT en masse, which rules out wear-and-tear as the culprit and suggests design or manufacturing faults. Before purchasing one used, demand a full service history and have a Bentley specialist conduct a pre-purchase inspection to identify which specific systems are causing failures.

What to check before buying a 2023 Bentley Continental GT S V8 Auto

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
