2012 Rolls Royce Phantom Auto 6.7L Petrol · 7 CD

The vehicle presents a stable and exemplary mechanical trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 7 March 2026 at 28,064 miles. No defects or advisories were recorded in the most recent test, nor in any of the preceding four MOT entries. This unblemished record indicates meticulous preventative maintenance and a lack of recurring mechanical or structural deterioration. The consistent absence of flagged issues suggests the car has been operated and serviced to a standard commensurate with its prestige. The Phantom has covered approximately 2,005 miles per year since its registration in 2012, totalling just 28,064 miles by June 2026. This exceptionally low mileage reflects light, sporadic use rather than high-mileage wear on drivetrain components and consumables. The car travelled 1,230 miles between the March 2026 test and the February 2025 test, and 1,487 miles between February 2025 and January 2024. A notable gap exists between the January 2023 test at 23,455 miles and the December 2021 test at 21,406 miles, where the vehicle covered just 2,049 miles over the preceding thirteen months. Prolonged periods of inactivity like this can lead to flat-spotted tyres, brake disc surface corrosion, and dried-out rubber seals. Despite the pristine MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on the effects of long-term standing rather than active wear. Check the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and the brake discs for superficial surface corrosion, a common issue on vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as rubber components perish over time regardless of mileage. Verify the structural integrity of the undercarriage, looking closely at mounting points and exhaust components for corrosion exacerbated by short, cold journeys. The tester flagged no issues, but the low-mileage pattern demands scrutiny of perishable items and fluid condition, as infrequent use degrades oils and rubber just as quickly as high mileage.
