Bentley Flying Spur MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Bentley Flying Spurs in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Bentley Flying Spur engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 1,208 Bentley Flying Spurs licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 53.0% have an engine of 3,901cc to 4,000cc, and 36.3% have an engine of 5,901cc to 6,000cc. The share with an engine of 5,901cc to 6,000cc has fallen from 79.6% in 2014 to 36.3%. Petrols made up 100.0% of those licensed in 2014 and 77.6% in 2025.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

Bentley Flying Spur fuel economy and CO2

• 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 “Flying Spur, MY2017”, “Flying Spur MY21”, “Flying Spur MY22”, “Flying Spur MY23”. How we use VCA’s figures.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Bentley Flying Spur. 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.
