1964 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 6.2L Petrol · LKE 64B

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of deteriorating mechanical condition during its most recent inspections. While it passed the test in November 2021 at 23,045 miles, this followed a significant failure just two weeks prior that revealed critical safety defects. The lack of any MOT records since late 2021 indicates the vehicle has not been legally roadworthy for over four years, leaving the current state of its aging components and fluid systems unverified and unreliable. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 62-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 372 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 6,121 miles between March 2018 and November 2021, followed by five years of total inactivity where the odometer remained at 23,045. This low usage often correlates with the issues observed, such as the degradation of rubber-based seals and the corrosion of brake lines, which typically suffer more from time-related oxidation and lack of regular movement than from mechanical wear from high mileage. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry and braking system. The record shows recurring issues with play in the axle kingpins and steering idler arms dating back to 2018, alongside steering linkage wear. More critically, the 2021 failure due to brake efficiency below 50 per cent and corroded main brake pipes indicates that the hydraulic system may require a complete overhaul. The presence of multiple minor fluid leaks in the 2021 test suggests that engine and gearbox seals have likely perished during the vehicle's long periods of standing.
