1965 Rolls Royce Cloud 6.2L Petrol · GRB 702C

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the record indicates a history of persistent minor mechanical issues. The most recent test conducted in August 2022 at 68,182 miles passed with no recorded defects, suggesting that previous mechanical concerns were addressed or rectified. This represents a significant improvement over the March 2017 failure where the vehicle did not meet standards due to lighting failures and play in the axle assembly. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixty-one-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,118 miles per year. Data shows a notable period of inactivity between March 2017 and August 2022, during which the car covered only 99 miles over five years. While this low mileage reduces overall wear on the drivetrain and engine, such long intervals of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fluid properties, which aligns with the recurring oil leaks noted throughout the mid-2010s. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the nearside axle swivel joint, which was flagged as having play in three consecutive tests between 2015 and 2017. Although the vehicle passed the 2022 test, the recurring nature of this fault requires a thorough check to ensure the play has not returned or worsened. The documented history of oil leaks from 2015 through 2017 also warrants a close examination of the engine and gearbox seals to ensure no active leaks have developed during storage. Given the age and low usage, the buyer should also verify the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the brake lines, as these components often suffer when vintage vehicles remain stationary for extended periods.
