2012 Rolls Royce Phantom Auto 6.7L Petrol · A24 ASP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clean record following previous minor advisories. The most recent test in November 2025 at 17,919 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed or have not progressed. This trend suggests the vehicle is currently in a condition that meets the minimum legal safety requirements despite its low-usage history. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging only approximately 1,280 miles per year. Between October 2021 and November 2025, the car covered just 3,578 miles, confirming a history of long storage or very limited use. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such infrequent use increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based parts and seals, which can dry-rot or crack when a vehicle sits for long periods without mechanical operation. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry, as the November 2023 test at 16,074 miles flagged worn bushes on both the offside and nearside front lower suspension arms. Although these did not result in a failure at that time, the recurring nature of tyre cuts in 2022 and 2023 suggests potential impact damage or poor handling during parking. The buyer should specifically check for signs of perished rubber on suspension bushings and brake discs, as low-mileage luxury vehicles often suffer from seized calipers or uneven pad wear due to lack of consistent use.
