How many Bentley Bentayga cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 4,250 licensed and 435 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Bentley Bentayga generic-model group.

Is the Bentayga disappearing?

4,250 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the Bentayga is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them. That is up 81% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 435 are declared SORN — 1 in 11 of the 4,685 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

When it shows up in the statistics

Bentley Bentayga first appears in the published DfT series in 2016 Q1. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.

Bentayga MOT pass rate

In 2024, 95.5% of 2,257 Bentley Bentayga MOTs passed first time — above the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 96.4% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 94.8% aged 6–9 years.

• Condition — 2.2% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
• Registration Plates — 0.5% of tests. A damaged, dirty or non-compliant number plate.
• Tread Depth — 0.4% of tests. Tyres below the 1.6mm legal limit. Budget for tyres, and treat it as a sign of how the car was maintained.
• Exhaust Emissions — 0.3% of tests. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
