2020 ROLLS ROYCE WRAITH V12 BLACK BADGE AUTO6.6L Petrol

This Rolls-Royce Wraith demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend over its MOT history, with both tests—conducted in August 2025 at 28,689 miles and September 2023 at 14,997 miles—resulting in clean passes without defects or advisories. The absence of recurring issues across nearly 14,000 miles between tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a baseline standard, though the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear in high-value components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain seals. The most recent test, just over a year ago, aligns with the DVSA’s recommended 12-month interval for luxury vehicles, indicating compliance with legal requirements but not necessarily proactive servicing beyond statutory checks. The recorded mileage of 28,689 miles over six years—approximately 4,782 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this class, which typically accumulates 10,000 to 15,000 miles per year under regular use. The gap between tests, spanning 14,000 miles in under two years, implies either limited driving or extended periods of storage, both of which can accelerate degradation in fluid systems, tyre condition, and suspension integrity. Without supplementary service records, it remains unclear whether critical intervals for oil changes, brake fluid refreshes, or differential service were adhered to, though the MOT’s silence on fluid-related defects offers no immediate cause for alarm. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension geometry, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, given the vehicle’s age and low mileage—long-term static loading can compromise rubber components even without visible wear. The braking system warrants scrutiny for uneven pad thickness or binding calipers, though the MOT’s absence of advisories on this front is reassuring. Structural corrosion, particularly around the sills, wheel arches, and underbody, should be checked meticulously, as prolonged inactivity can exacerbate moisture retention and rust propagation. Finally, the exhaust system’s integrity must be verified, as catalytic converter failures or leaks are common in high-mileage luxury vehicles, though the MOT’s clean record here is a positive indicator.
