ROLLS ROYCE SILVER SPUR1996 · 6.8L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2025 at 43,244 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in earlier years have been addressed. This current trend suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the current owner, successfully resolving previously flagged faults before they escalated into test failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,440 miles per year. Data shows very consistent, slow usage between 2020 and 2025, with the car covering only 1,384 miles over five years. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between use often lead to degradation of rubber-based parts and fluids. The gap between tests is regular, suggesting the vehicle is likely used occasionally for special occasions rather than as a daily driver. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front end and hydraulic systems, as the February 2022 test at 41,994 miles flagged play in both the nearside and offside front wheel bearings. Although these were cleared, low-mileage vehicles can cause seals to dry out and perish over time. The 2020 report of a hydraulic leak also necessitates a thorough visual check of the suspension system and brake lines to ensure no new weeping has occurred since the last pass. Given the age of the car, checking the condition of suspension bushes and the integrity of brake hoses is essential, as these components often suffer from age-related fatigue rather than mileage-related wear.
