Every Bentley Arnage model year
Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2000 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Bentley Arnage:

|---|---|---|---|
| 2000 | 90.4% | 209 | 64,256 |

What a 26-year-old car fails on
A 2000 car is 26 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:
- Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
- Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
- Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
- Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
- Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
- Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested
That is around average, so condition and service history will tell you more than the odometer does. On a 2000 Bentley Arnage the average at test was 64,256 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.
2000 is the strongest year on record for this model at 90.4%, ahead of every other year we hold data for.
