Bentley Continental GT V8 Auto (2022)
2022 Bentley Continental GT V8 Auto
CarHunch analysed 389 real MOT records for the 2022 Bentley Continental GT V8 Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 Bentley Continental GT V8 comes in slightly below the UK average with a 76.5% first-time pass rate versus 80% nationally, suggesting these early examples are encountering some teething issues—though the dangerous defect rate sits at just 1.0%, so safety isn't a concern for potential buyers. At under 11,000 miles on average, these cars are genuinely low-mileage with minimal failure history (0.03 failures per vehicle), which reflects their status as expensive, carefully-driven machines rather than workhorses.
The real story is in the advisories: at 0.1 per vehicle, this Continental GT is running remarkably tight for a complex continental performance car, suggesting Bentley's engineering is holding up well in year one. If you're considering one, focus your pre-purchase inspection on the electrical and infotainment systems—the areas where early luxury cars typically stumble—rather than worrying about structural or mechanical breakdown.
What to check before buying a 2022 Bentley Continental GT 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.
