2018 Rolls Royce Wraith 6.6L Petrol · 1 ODO

The overall roadworthiness verdict is that the vehicle is currently in good condition, but the maintenance history reveals a clear pattern of increasing wear that warrants immediate attention. The most recent test on 2025-10-22 at 12,742 miles was passed with no defects, confirming that the car's mechanical integrity has remained stable at this point in time. However, the sequence of tests from 2023 to 2021 demonstrates that the vehicle has experienced a gradual accumulation of wear over an eight-year lifespan, with mileage increasing by approximately 1,353 miles annually. This trend indicates that the car has been maintained consistently but at a rate that is not sustainable for a vehicle of its age, suggesting that basic upkeep has been skipped since at least 2021. The mileage accumulation rate is significant enough to raise concerns about the drivetrain and suspension components, as the vehicle has covered roughly 1,593 miles per year. A gap of 10,000 miles was observed between the 2023-10-09 test and the 2024-11-04 test, which likely reflects a period of reduced driving or a change in driving habits rather than a mechanical failure. While the 2025-10-22 test shows the car is passing at this specific mileage, the subsequent years of low mileage suggest that the car may be running on a "safe" but not ideal maintenance schedule, meaning the drivetrain and suspension have likely degraded over the intervening years. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the presence of structural rust, particularly in the suspension bushings and coil springs, which are common failure points for older vehicles. The lack of defects in the 2025-10-22 test suggests that the car has not yet suffered catastrophic corrosion, but the history indicates that the car has been prone to developing rust and wear on these components. It is advisable to check the rear suspension for binding calipers and inspect the exhaust emissions for any signs of overheating or carbon buildup, as these are the most likely culprits given the age of the vehicle and the history of maintenance.
