1984 Rolls Royce Corniche 6.8L Petrol · 3 FJG

The vehicle maintains a stable level of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 13 July 2024 at 72,972 miles returned no defects or advisories, mirroring the results of the previous inspections. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the accumulation of minor mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 42-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,737 miles per year. Between July 2022 and July 2024, the car covered only 183 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long periods of storage. A more significant period of activity occurred between June 2021 and July 2022, where the vehicle clocked 4,710 miles in a thirteen-month window. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid-related issues due to lack of mechanical exercise. Despite the clean record of MOT entries, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to long-term sitting. A buyer should specifically examine the hydraulic suspension system, rubber bushings, and brake lines for signs of cracking or perished material which MOT tests may overlook. The brakes should be checked for binding or seized calipers, as infrequent use frequently causes rust to build up. Additionally, the structural integrity of the chassis and floorpan should be verified for any hidden corrosion in secluded areas where moisture may collect during periods of inactivity.
