1995 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit 6.8L Petrol · A8 PBX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent failure to address recurring mechanical defects. The most recent test in August 2025 at 70,749 miles resulted in a pass despite the continued presence of a front oil leak and nearside front tyre reaching legal limits. While the car consistently meets the minimum standard, the repetition of these faults across multiple years suggests a reactive approach to maintenance where only the minimum necessary to pass is addressed rather than performing preventative repairs. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 31-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,282 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2024, the car covered only 462 miles, indicating it sits stationary for long periods. This low-frequency usage often protects mechanical components like the drivetrain and engine but increases the risk of rubber degradation, perished seals, and fluid stagnation. The negligible growth in mileage between 70,588 and 70,749 miles confirms the vehicle is used for occasional outings rather than a daily commute. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the front engine area to identify the oil leak recorded since at least 2022. Given the low mileage and age, this likely stems from a front crank seal or valve cover gasket that has hardened from disuse. The recurring advisory regarding the nearside front tyre showing uneven edge wear indicates a persistent alignment issue or a worn suspension bushing that has not been rectified. You should also verify the structural integrity of the chassis and brake lines for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles of this era often suffer from hidden rot that standard MOT tests do not always capture.
