2005 Rolls Royce Phantom 6.7L Petrol · LJ54 PVZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean recent history. The most recent test on 21 January 2026 at 89,078 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of successful inspections over the last three years, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets current regulatory requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage profile shows extremely low usage for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,242 miles per year. The data reveals a significant period of stagnation between 2016 and 2024, where the mileage only increased from 88,136 to 88,884 miles. This suggests the car spends long periods stationary, which can lead to issues such as perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, or fluid degradation despite the lack of mechanical wear on the drivetrain. The recent increase in mileage between 2024 and 2026 shows the vehicle is being used more frequently, which is positive for maintaining mechanical health. A single failure occurred on 17 January 2023 at 88,729 miles due to a supplementary restraint system warning lamp fault, though the vehicle passed immediately upon retest. Earlier, in January 2016 at 88,136 miles, the tester flagged a worn rear tyre and a nail in the offside rear tyre. While these are minor consumable issues, the overall lack of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion suggests the vehicle has been kept in a controlled environment. A prospective buyer should focus an inspection on components prone to deterioration during long periods of inactivity. I recommend a thorough check of all rubber seals, suspension bushings, and tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also verify the service history of fluids and the operational integrity of the braking system to ensure no binding or corrosion has developed during the periods of low usage.
