Bentley Mulsanne value and depreciation
Known for hand-built flagship with the old 6.75 v8.
Depreciation curve
We class the Bentley Mulsanne as a luxury flagship & exotic in our 12-tier model, which puts its retention at roughly 54% after three years and 37% after five. Flagship saloons and exotics shed value brutally once the first owner is done. Some halo cars (911, certain AMG and M cars) beat this curve and carry per-model overrides.
