1988 Daimler Limousine Auto 4.2L Petrol · D20 LTS

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 20 February 2025 at 92,269 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to January 2021, indicating a vehicle that is maintained to a high standard and remains mechanically sound according to DVSA criteria. The mileage is very low for a 38 year old limousine, averaging roughly 2,428 miles per year. The usage pattern is steady and predictable, with the odometer moving from 90,045 miles in February 2021 to 92,269 miles by February 2025. This represents a modest increase of 2,224 miles over four years. Such low annual mileage suggests the car has spent significant time stationary, which often introduces specific risks regardless of a clean test sheet. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade due to age and inactivity rather than wear. While the MOT history shows no failures or advisories regarding corrosion, structural integrity, or suspension bushes, these are common failure points for 1980s luxury saloons. Check for perished rubber seals, leaking shock absorbers, and the condition of the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion. Verify the operational status of the automatic transmission and check for any signs of fluid leaks under the chassis. Because the vehicle has not required any corrective work for five years, it is worth confirming that the owner has performed preventative maintenance, such as oil changes and coolant flushes, which the MOT process does not track. Focus on the chassis rails and sills to ensure no hidden rust has developed during periods of low use.
