1994 Rolls Royce Silver Spur 6.8L Petrol · M294 LYY

The 2026‑07‑09 MOT at 53,871 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable, improving trend. All preceding tests from 2022 through 2025 also recorded clean results. Since the 2015‑01‑29 test at 42,950 miles, mileage has risen to 53,871 miles over 11 years, averaging 1,683 miles per year, which is modest for a 32‑year‑old car and suggests the vehicle has been used lightly or stored for extended periods. The interval between the 2022‑07‑26 test (51,513 miles) and the 2026‑07‑09 test (53,871 miles) adds only 2,358 miles in four years, indicating consistent, low‑intensity use rather than rapid mileage accumulation. Recurring issues flagged in the history include corrosion of the near‑side and off‑side rear suspension lower spring pan mounting areas noted in 2020, 2019 and 2020, and a corroded off‑side rear coil spring recorded in 2019; these structural rust points merit close inspection. Earlier failures at 2015‑01‑29 involved a headlamp aim defect and a supplementary restraint system warning lamp, while engine bay obscuration by fitted covers was noted on the same occasion, suggesting previous owners may have masked underlying mechanical conditions. A buyer should therefore examine the rear suspension mounting zones for excessive rust, verify the condition of the coil springs and associated bushes, inspect the rear brakes for binding or uneven wear, confirm that the headlamp aim has been corrected, ensure the SRS warning lamp is functional and that any related airbag components are sound, and check that the engine bay covers have been removed to allow a clear view of the engine and ancillary parts.
