Used Bentley Bentayga 2016-present reliability
Category: Luxury SUV
The Bentayga excels in performance and luxury, but you'll need a lot of money to buy and run one, even used.
What should I look for in a used Bentley Bentayga 4x4?
Bodywork repairs will cost a small fortune, so check carefully for scuffs and alloy wheel damage before you buy. It’s unlikely that many Bentaygas will have been used off road, but it might be worth having a look at the undersides of the car to make sure no damage has occurred as a result of negotiating countryside peaks and troughs.
Euro NCAP hasn’t safety tested the Bentayga, but the Audi Q7 it’s based on gets a full five stars. You get plenty of safety kit to help prevent an accident, including adaptive cruise control, night vision, a forward collision warning system, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, rear cross-traffic warning, traffic-sign recognition, blind-spot warning and automatic emergency braking (AEB). There are also two Isofix child seat attachments on the rear outer seats.
What are the most common problems with a used Bentley Bentayga 4x4?
Perhaps surprisingly, the Bentayga has already been the subject of a recall in the US. Bentley issued one covering 378 examples of the 2017 Bentayga. The affected vehicles have build dates between 1 March and 30 September 2016.
The issue relates to the assembly process. Seat mechanism and instrument panel joints may not have been properly tightened. If they're loose, vehicle vibrations can loosen the parts even further. However, no such recalls have been issued in the UK at this stage.
Is a used Bentley Bentayga 4x4 reliable?
Unfortunately, Bentley as a brand didn't feature in our most recent What Car? Reliability Survey, and nor did the Bentayga.
