On the filed record so far, the 2020 is the cleanest Mulsanne year we hold, and the 2018 the one to check hardest.

Both figures are divided by the number of years the car has been on sale, because otherwise the oldest year on the page loses every time simply for having been around longer. The current model year and any year under three on the road are left out: their records are not finished.

Which Bentley Mulsanne year is the best used buy?

On the recall record, the 2020 Mulsanne comes out top of the years before the current one: Safety Signal grade A (100/100), 0 recalls and 0 owner complaints on file. That ranks paperwork, not condition — a specific car's history and service record still decide it.

What Bentley Mulsanne years should I avoid?

No Mulsanne model year carries a D or F Safety Signal or a standing advisory. The ranking page orders every year on recalls and complaints per year on the road, and says why.

How many recalls does the Bentley Mulsanne have?

Across model years 2016–2020, NHTSA has posted 4 recall campaigns for the Bentley Mulsanne. They are counted per model year in the table above, because a campaign almost never covers the whole run — it covers a build range.
