1995 DAIMLER DOUBLE SIX LWB AUTO6.0L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural and mechanical integrity. While it passed the most recent test in February 2026 at 94,627 miles, this followed a significant failure in December 2025. The 2025 failure highlighted critical structural corrosion on the rear inner sills and arches that significantly reduced structural strength. Although the tester noted structural rigidity was not significantly reduced in the subsequent pass, the presence of deep-seated corrosion indicates an active issue requiring constant monitoring. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 31-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. The data shows the car sat stationary for long periods, with only 123 miles recorded between August 2024 and December 2025, and a mere 103 miles between the two most recent tests. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals, which is consistent with the recurring reports of worn shock absorber bushes, perished seals, and leaking fuel lines found throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis, specifically focusing on the rear subframe, inner sills, and suspension mounting points. The record has flagged corrosion in these areas consistently since 2021, suggesting the vehicle is prone to rust-related failures. Additionally, the front wheel bearings and drag link end joints have shown persistent play, indicating that the steering and suspension components are nearing their end. The recurring history of weak handbrake performance and pitted brake discs further suggests the braking system requires a professional adjustment and overhaul to ensure effective operation.
