2004 Rolls Royce Phantom 6.7L Petrol · 28 JC

The 2025‑08‑07 MOT at 44,256 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle was roadworthy at that point and the maintenance trend appears stable, showing no worsening or improving issues since the last test. At 22 years old, 44,256 miles equates to roughly 2,012 miles per year, well below the average for a vehicle of this age, suggesting the car has been used lightly or stored for extended periods. The record is sparse, containing only the single recent test, so no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or long gaps between inspections can be confirmed. A buyer should examine the suspension system, specifically the bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, and verify that the rear brake discs and calipers are not binding, as these components commonly show signs of neglect in low‑mileage, long‑standing cars. Particular attention should be given to structural rust around the chassis rails, wheel arches and underbody, as well as the condition of the exhaust system and emissions, which were not flagged in the latest test but may deteriorate over time. Additional checks should include verifying tyre tread depth and condition, confirming that the timing chain and oil service history are up to date, and inspecting the drivetrain and transmission mounts, since low usage can allow fluids to stagnate and mounts to become brittle. Overall, the recent MOT suggests the vehicle is presently roadworthy, but a thorough in‑person inspection of the highlighted mechanical and structural items is essential to confirm continued reliability.
