2016 ROLLS ROYCE GHOST6.6L PETROL

The Rolls-Royce Ghost presents a clean bill of health. The most recent MOT, conducted on 4 June 2026 at 58,809 miles, passed with zero defects. This is not a one-off; the vehicle has maintained a perfect, advisory-free record across all five consecutive annual tests. The maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in top mechanical order with no recurring faults or developing issues. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of low, consistent use. The vehicle has covered approximately 5,881 miles per year over its ten-year life, well below the national average. The annual tests show a remarkably steady progression: 37,778 miles in May 2022, 43,094 in May 2023, 48,384 in June 2024, 53,846 in June 2025, and 58,809 in June 2026. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in usage. This pattern suggests regular, light driving rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, which is the ideal scenario for a complex luxury vehicle, minimising the risks associated with moisture ingress, brake disc surface corrosion, and stale fluids. Despite the flawless paperwork, a physical inspection is essential. The Ghost's complex air suspension system, with its bellows and compressors, demands a thorough check for leaks or uneven ride height, as these are common failure points on the platform regardless of mileage. Inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion on subframes and suspension mounting points. The low mileage means the brake discs and pads may have developed surface rust from short journeys, so check for lipping on disc edges and uneven pad wear. The interior and electronic systems warrant equal attention. Test every function of the infotainment system, seat adjustments, and climate control. Examine the tyres closely; even with legal tread depth, the rubber on a ten-year-old car may show age-related sidewall cracking. Verify the service history aligns with the MOT record, ensuring oil changes and fluid replacements have been performed on time, not just when the mileage dictated. This vehicle's record is exemplary, but a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist remains the only way to confirm its condition matches its history.
