Overview

2013 Bentley Flying Spur

The 2013 Bentley Flying Spur offers a blend of opulent luxury and potent performance, characteristic of the marque. While its zero recall and complaint history is encouraging for a used luxury vehicle, the substantial Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) count of 41 cannot be ignored. These bulletins often address known issues or design improvements that may not have reached critical failure levels but can still impact long-term ownership satisfaction and potentially lead to unexpected repair costs. Buyers should approach this model with an understanding of its complex systems and the potential for maintenance beyond standard luxury car expectations.

Critical Failure Risk

The complex air suspension system, while providing a superb ride, can develop leaks in its lines, airbags, or compressor over time. This is a common issue on many luxury vehicles with similar systems.

Early detection can help you avoid a $600-$1,200 repair.
