1987 Rolls Royce Silver Spur 6.8L Petrol · D15 LAL

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with three consecutive MOT passes between 2021 and 2024, all recorded at progressively higher mileages without defects. The most recent 2024 test at 72,689 miles confirmed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures across this period suggests the car has been well-maintained, though its low annual mileage of 1,864 miles raises questions about long-term component preservation. The mileage pattern reflects minimal usage, with only 653 miles recorded between the 2021 and 2023 tests, followed by 1,030 miles by 2024. This irregular accumulation could indicate periods of inactivity, which may affect rubber components, electrical systems, or fluid integrity. While the MOT history is clean, the sparse data—spanning just three tests over five years—limits insight into potential wear trends. Buyers should verify if the mileage is accurate and assess whether the car has been driven regularly enough to prevent component degradation. A physical inspection should prioritise suspension components, as low mileage can lead to stiffness in bushes and coil springs, and brakes, given the age of the vehicle. Corrosion risks in the exhaust system and body structure warrant scrutiny, particularly in areas prone to moisture. The absence of recorded issues does not eliminate these concerns, as older vehicles often develop hidden faults not flagged in MOTs. Buyers should also check for fluid leaks, tyre condition, and steering responsiveness to confirm the car’s operational soundness.
