1983 Rolls Royce Spirit 6.8L Petrol · A395 SYL

The 2024‑07‑11 MOT at 29,887 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the Rolls‑Royce Spirit remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable condition. At roughly 695 miles per year the vehicle’s mileage is low for a 43‑year‑old model, and the recorded intervals show only modest accumulation between tests, with a 31‑mile increase from 23 March to 29 March 2022 and a 521‑mile rise over the next three months, followed by a 315‑mile increase in the subsequent year. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or corrosion, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding, inspect the brake discs for scoring, and check the chassis and exhaust for structural rust, especially given the single failure entry in March 2022 that recorded no defects but may have concealed an advisory. Since consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades show no recorded wear, the primary focus remains on the mechanical components that could develop over time, and a thorough pre‑purchase inspection should confirm that any previous advisories were fully remedied before finalising the purchase.
