1990 ROLLS ROYCE SILVER SPIRIT6.8L Petrol

The 1990 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 July 2025 at 129,557 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passing tests show no advisories or mechanical faults flagged by testers. Recorded mileage sits at 129,557 against a 36 year lifespan, an average of roughly 3,600 miles per year. The DVSA entries confirm extremely low annual use: the car covered only 346 miles between April 2022 (129,211) and May 2023 (129,451), then just 106 miles to July 2024 (129,491) and 66 miles to July 2025. Such low accumulation points to long standing periods rather than daily driving. The single failure on 19 May 2023 at 129,449 miles lists no defects, with a pass six days later at 129,451 miles, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the first centre rather than a mechanical fault. A clean record with no corrosion, suspension bush, brake disc, or exhaust emission advisories across five years is favourable for a vehicle of this age. The lack of flagged wear does not, however, certify component condition after prolonged storage. A buyer should physically inspect for perished rubber suspension components, seized brake calipers from disuse, and subframe or structural rust hidden beneath coachwork, as low mileage Rolls Royces of this era commonly suffer from dried seals and damp-related corrosion when idle. Verify the 2023 failure cause with the test station and commission a pre-purchase inspection focused on the hydro pneumatic self levelling system.
