2008 Rolls Royce Phantom 6.7L Petrol · 80 DG

The vehicle presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 27 January 2026 at 12,514 miles. Every recorded MOT back to February 2022 shows zero defects, indicating meticulous upkeep and no recurring mechanical or structural deterioration. The absence of advisories or failures across five consecutive years demonstrates a highly consistent standard of roadworthiness. The Phantom has covered an average of roughly 695 miles per year since 2022, accumulating just 4,781 miles between the February 2022 test at 10,733 miles and the January 2026 test at 12,514 miles. This exceptionally low annual mileage suggests long periods of standing, which carries its own risks despite the clean MOT record. Prolonged inactivity can cause flat-spotted tyres, seized brake calipers, and dried-out suspension bushes, even if the mileage remains minimal. Despite the flawless MOT history, a physical inspection must prioritize components vulnerable to low-mileage degradation. Check the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and flat-spotting, as the tread may pass depth checks while the rubber compound suffers from dry rot. Examine the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion and binding, common issues when vehicles stand for extended periods. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and scrutinize the underbody and exhaust system for corrosion exacerbated by condensation build-up during short journeys.
