2018 Rolls Royce Dawn 6.6L Petrol · LC68 AOE

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 22 June 2026 with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history since 2022, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, with a consistent record of passes and almost no recorded failures. This indicates a vehicle that has been kept in a high state of roadworthiness with minimal mechanical degradation over the last five years. With a recorded mileage of 17,255 miles over approximately eight years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 2,157 miles per year. This is significantly below the national average and suggests the car has been used sparingly or has undergone long periods of standing. While this results in very low wear on the engine, gearbox, and interior, it introduces specific risks associated with inactivity rather than operational fatigue. Regarding the 2025 advisory concerning inner edge wear on the rear tyres, a prospective buyer should closely inspect the current tread pattern. Inner edge wear often points to incorrect wheel alignment or the onset of wear in the rear suspension bushes. During a test drive, listen for any unusual scrubbing sounds or a tendency for the vehicle to drift, as this would indicate that the alignment issues persist or have worsened. Given the low annual usage, physical inspection must focus on age-related degradation. Check the tyre sidewalls for perishing or hairline cracking, as rubber compounds harden over time even if the tread remains deep. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not binding, which is common in vehicles that stand for long periods. Furthermore, verify that the 12V battery is healthy and that the service history reflects calendar-based fluid changes rather than just mileage-based intervals, as engine oil and coolant degrade over time regardless of distance travelled.
