# 2012 BENTLEY UNKNOWN
This Bentley cohort is catastrophically unreliable—a 1.2% first-time pass rate versus the UK average of 80% means virtually every vehicle arrives at MOT with issues. The complete absence of dangerous defects (0%) is the only bright spot, but it hardly matters when the car simply doesn't pass testing.
The median mileage of 37,207 miles is genuinely low for a 12-year-old vehicle, yet these cars are still failing at shocking rates, which suggests systemic design or maintenance problems rather than age-related wear. With an average of just 0.01 failures per vehicle recorded, the data itself appears incomplete or the "unknown" model designation is masking serious quality issues—either way, treat any 2012 Bentley with extreme caution until you can verify the actual model and full service history.
We have 122 2012 Bentley Unknown vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2012 Bentley Unknown
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.
