For almost a century, Bentley had enjoyed a reputation as a maker of some of the best saloon and touring cars in the world, so when the SUV phenomenon came along, it was only natural that the best SUVs should hail from Crewe, too. In continuous production since December, 2015, the Bentayga—named after the sublime Bentayga rock in Gran Canaria—was Bentley’s first and, thus far, only entry into the SUV market. First glimpsed at the September, 2015, Frankfurt Motor Show, it had at its heart the six-litre twin-turbocharged W12 already well-loved by Bentley owners thanks to its inclusion in the Continental GT and Flying Spur; in the Bentayga, it produced 600bhp. The new model was built round the Volkswagen Group’s tried and tested MLB platform, shared with the contemporary Audi Q7 and Q8, Porsche Cayenne and Lamborghini Urus, and could be specified as a four-, five- or seven-seater. Equipped with an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission and permanent all-wheel drive, it was the SUV par excellence and the fastest of its kind in the world with a 187mph top speed. A diesel V8 model became available in 2017, followed by a petrol V8 in 2018 and a V6-engined plug-in hybrid in 2019.

Now that the oldest Bentaygas are just celebrating their tenth birthday, we think they must be achieving collectible status, and what better example to add to a collection than this very well-preserved specimen from the first year of production. Having been completed to a special-order specification, there probably isn’t another one quite like it. The paint code L999 denotes a custom colour, which in this case rather puts us in mind of the glistening Atlantic waves round Gran Canaria. Other features of its tremendous specification include a panoramic roof, keyless entry and a premium sound system.

Impressively, it was enjoyed by just two keepers before being acquired by the present family near the end of 2024 at a cost of around £67,000, which included some paint correction work and ceramic coating. Because custody has since been transferred to another family member upon the passing of the purchaser, the DVLA records a total of four registered keepers. Across its life, the Bentley has only ever been used sparingly, covering just 43,000 miles from new. All the while, it has been appropriately maintained in accordance with the level of use it has received, having received seven services, all by Bentley Leicester. The MOT record provides further evidence of just how well cared for it has been—from its first MOT in 2019, it has been tested almost annually and has never yet received so much as an advisory note. The current MOT remains valid until March, 2027. Furthermore, if you should discover a fault with it—which we think is hopefully unlikely—it is still covered by Sytner Bentley’s extended warranty, which remains valid until October, 2026.

Following its recent paint correction work, it is really hard to believe that this Bentayga is a ten-year-old car. It looks very much like a nearly-new machine, with the interior in wonderful condition, too. The red stitching creates a splendid contrast with the black leather, and the embroidered Bentley emblems on the seat are the crowning touch. As far as we are aware, all the luxury fittings remain fully operational, and even areas where you might expect to find scratches, snags or scuff marks, such as the window blinds or the cup holders, give the impression that they have scarcely ever been used. The cavernous boot is in exceptionally good order, looking as if it has never seen a pair of muddy boots, and the space-saver spare wheel is all present and correct. Truly one of the best and most desirably specified used Bentaygas one can buy, it is supplied with much documentation including the original owner’s handbook and supplementary guides, confirmation from Bentley of its service history, past MOTs and the late owner’s purchase invoice.
