Used Bentley Bentayga for sale in Europe

About the Bentley Bentayga

The Bentayga is Bentley's large luxury SUV. It went on sale in 2016 and is built in Crewe. It is a five-door car with a long list of trim and personalisation options. Most examples have four or five seats, and a seven-seat layout was offered later.

Engines have included a 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 petrol, a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol and, in the early years, a 4.0-litre V8 diesel. A plug-in hybrid with a 3.0-litre V6 and a 17.3 kWh battery was added later. All use an eight-speed automatic gearbox and permanent four-wheel drive.

It suits buyers who want a large, quiet, well-equipped car for long journeys and who accept the running costs that come with a car of this size and weight. Specification varies a lot between cars, so compare listings carefully.

Generations

• First generation (2016-2020) — The launch car, offered with W12 petrol power, then a V8 diesel and a V8 petrol, with the plug-in hybrid arriving towards the end of this period.
• First generation, updated (2020-present) — Revised exterior styling and a reworked interior came around 2020, and the range later grew to include longer-wheelbase and further trim variants.

What to check when buying a used Bentley Bentayga

Ask for a full service history and inspect the car in daylight, ideally with a specialist who knows large Bentley and VW Group models. Allow time for a long test drive that includes slow manoeuvres and motorway speeds.

• Air suspension and ride height

  The car uses air springs with electronic damping. Start it from cold and check that it sits level and rises and lowers without warnings. Listen for a compressor that runs for a long time, and look for a car that settles on one side overnight.

• Warning lights and electronics

  Cycle through the screens, cameras, parking sensors, seat functions and driver aids. Look for stored fault messages. Ask whether software updates were done by an authorised workshop, and whether any open recall work on the VIN has been completed.

• Brakes and tyres

  This is a heavy car with large wheels. Check disc and pad condition, and ask what was replaced and when. If the car has the optional ceramic brakes, ask for details of their condition. Tyres should be a matching set in the correct size and rating.

• Engine bay and leaks · W12 and V8 petrol

  Inspect the engine bay for oil or coolant leaks, damaged hoses and signs of poor repairs. Check that the engine idles smoothly and that cooling and charge-air components are in good order. Ask for evidence of regular oil changes.

• Diesel emissions system · Diesel

  Early V8 diesel cars have exhaust after-treatment systems. Ask for records of any emissions-related work or software updates. Check for warning messages, and make sure the car has been used on journeys long enough to keep the system healthy.

• Hybrid system and charging · Plug-in hybrid

  Check the charge port, the supplied cable and that the car charges on both home and public units. Confirm the hybrid system switches smoothly between electric and petrol drive. Ask for a diagnostic printout showing any stored hybrid faults.

• Fuel type and modifications

  Some listings show unusual fuel types. Confirm in the registration papers and on the car exactly what fuel system it has. Ask for paperwork for any conversion or aftermarket work, and have an independent specialist inspect it.
