1996 Rolls Royce Silver Spur 6.8L Petrol · 12 OS

The 1996 Rolls Royce Silver Spur presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its three most recent MOT tests. The July 2025 test at 61,739 miles passed cleanly with no advisories, matching the fault-free outcomes from July 2024 at 61,353 miles and May 2022 at 60,889 miles. The maintenance trend is resolving and consistent, showing no worsening mechanical or structural concerns over the observed period. The recorded mileage reflects exceptionally light use for a thirty-year-old vehicle. Between May 2022 and July 2024 the car covered only 464 miles, then added 386 miles by July 2025, averaging roughly 2,058 miles per year overall. A two-year gap separates the 2022 and 2024 tests, though both passed without issue. Such low annual accumulation implies long periods of storage rather than daily driving, with no rapid wear on consumables or drivetrain components evident in the data. Given the clean MOT history, no recurring faults or advisories direct the buyer to specific failure points. The absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues suggests previous owners maintained basic statutory standards. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition, as a low-mileage car stored for extended periods can develop hidden rust or perished rubber components not captured in a pass result. Pre-purchase checks should focus on the coil springs, binding calipers, and flexible brake hoses that static MOTs may miss on a car of this age. Verify the service history matches the low mileage and confirm the vehicle has not stood unused with flat-spotted tyres or degraded fluid systems before relying on the clean test record.
