Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 4 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- Many journeys are local or relatively short: petrol can fit that use without choosing diesel just for occasional long trips.
- You would prefer less gear changing in traffic: the recorded automatic transmission may suit. Try how this exact gearbox behaves on a test drive.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 4 people together: the advert records 4 seats, including the driver.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 15 years old and 163,000 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
- You need servicing to fit a tight budget: Spanner estimates higher maintenance costs for this type. Get quotes for the exact engine and gearbox before committing.
- You regularly help children or passengers into the rear: fewer doors can make access awkward. Try your child seats and usual passenger routine before deciding.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
A 2011 Continental is typically the W12 twin-turbo petrol grand tourer with a 6-speed automatic — heavy, very powerful and built for smooth long-distance cruising. The drivetrain and air suspension are durable when serviced correctly, but maintenance and parts are expensive and specialised; gearbox fluid changes and air suspension compressors are common service items on older cars. Expect high fuel and insurance costs, and plan to use a Bentley specialist or experienced independent for major work.
- Air suspension: listen for compressor running constantly, check ride height and look for dampers/airbag leaks
- Automatic gearbox service history: confirm fluid/filter changes and test for smooth, consistent shifts under load
- Engine oil leaks and turbocharger condition: watch for smoke on startup and check boost response under acceleration
- Electricals and interior: test seats, heated functions, windows, infotainment and soft-close doors for glitches
- Underbody and rear subframe / wheel-arches: inspect for corrosion, previous repairs and tyre/brace wear from heavy use
