Used Bentley Flying Spur for sale

Recent Flying Spur models include a suite of driver-assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot warning and advanced automatic emergency braking. Multiple airbags and strong active safety features come as standard. Higher trims also offer features like night vision, a 360-degree camera and a head-up display.

Earlier Flying Spurs offer twin-turbo V8 and W12 petrol engines, with power outputs from around 500 to over 620bhp, depending on model and year. The latest Speed Hybrid, part of the third-generation Flying Spur lineup, pairs a powerful V8 engine with electric power to deliver 771bhp and an official 47 miles of electric-only driving – a major leap from earlier hybrid models in the range.

You'll find touchscreen infotainment, satellite navigation, Bluetooth and premium surround-sound audio in most Flying Spurs. While earlier models’ systems can feel dated, later versions provide much sharper displays, wireless connectivity and even rear-seat tablet controls for entertainment.

The Flying Spur is a luxury saloon with performance roots, so fuel economy isn't its strong suit. Expect between 19.8–25.9mpg for V8 and W12 petrol models. Plug-in hybrids can deliver much higher efficiency on short electric journeys but will use more fuel in daily hybrid driving.

Make sure you get a full service history – keeping up with maintenance is key, especially for high-performance engines and sophisticated air suspension. Check every interior system thoroughly before you buy to avoid any costly repairs down the line. To feel more confident, consider The AA Vehicle Inspection, which is especially useful with any high-end used car.

The Flying Spur is generally durable, particularly if serviced by specialists. Still, running costs remain high and some older models' electronics and infotainment can be temperamental. Owners report few breakdowns, but staying on top of maintenance is essential for lasting reliability.
