against 72.8% for all cars.

Most common Bentley Bentayga MOT defects and advisories

Both cover the United Kingdom. Pass rate: first-time passes at normal MOT tests in Great
Britain in 2025; all cars: every car first registered the same year.

How we use engine sizes.
Bentley Bentayga fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Bentley Bentayga from 2016, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2019 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol versions ranges from 19.2 to 21.7 mpg, with CO2 of 294 to 335 g/km; plug-in hybrid versions are rated at 80.7 to 94.2 mpg (weighted). On the older NEDC test (listings 2016 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 21.6 to 35.3 mpg, with CO2 of 210 to 296 g/km.

Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide)
come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
Plug-in hybrid figures are VCA’s weighted values, which count driving on battery power as
well as on fuel.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “Bentayga MY20”, “Bentayga MY21”, “Bentayga, MY2018”, “Bentayga EWB V8 23MY”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Bentley Bentayga safety recalls
DVSA lists 10 safety recalls for the Bentley Bentayga since 1992, the first in 2016. The most recent was launched on 13 January 2026.
Launched 13 January 2026DVSA recall R/2025/526Manufacturer ref. RE25/46 (RD74)
Defect
For certain vehicles a defect may be present in the cell modules of the 48Ah High Voltage Battery which could result in overheating during charging. Overheating of the battery cell modules during charging (or shortly afterwards) may lead to a thermal event.
Remedy
Installation of new software into the Battery Management controller (BMC) to detect potential issues with the performance of the battery modules.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Bentley Bentayga. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
