1982 Rolls Royce Spirit 6.8L Petrol · AJ 502

The 1982 Rolls Royce Spirit shows a stable maintenance trend with a clean roadworthiness status. In the September 2022 test at 52,166 miles the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, and no advisories or failures appear in the supplied history. Relative to the current date of July 2026, the most recent MOT is nearly four years old, so the record offers no evidence of condition beyond that point. The odometer read 52,166 miles at the 2022 test, equating to roughly 1,186 miles per year across the car's 44-year life. This is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age and points to light use or extended periods in storage rather than active daily driving. The single MOT entry provides no basis to identify rapid accumulation or notable gaps, but the sparse record leaves the intervening years unverified. A buyer should physically inspect the Spirit for corrosion on structural members and underbody components, as long standing periods invite moisture damage unseen in a clean 2022 pass. The tester flagged no suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc wear at 52,166 miles, yet rubber perishes and calipers seize with disuse regardless of a fault-free history. Verify the braking system for binding calipers and check exhaust emissions against current standards before road use. The absent recent testing means a fresh MOT is essential to confirm the car remains structurally sound and mechanically serviceable.
