1987 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit 6.8L Petrol · D101 RKM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection in October 2025 at 37,216 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the mechanical issues identified in previous years have either been addressed or remained minor. The transition from a structural concern in early 2025 to a clean sheet in October suggests the owner took proactive action regarding the flagged failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 39-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 954 miles per year. Between February 2022 and October 2025, the car covered only 4,656 miles, indicating a pattern of infrequent use or long-term storage. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and braking system, it often increases the risk of degradation in rubber components, seals, and fluid corrosion due to lack of regular movement and heat-driven operation. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside rear inner vehicle structure and sill. The February 2025 test at 36,600 miles flagged corrosion within 30cm of a mounting, and while this did not cause a failure at the time, structural integrity on vehicles of this age requires constant monitoring to prevent deep rot. You should also verify the steering rack to ensure the slight seepage noted in February 2023 at 34,840 miles has been fully rectified and has not progressed into a significant leak.
