Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2008 model year cars.
- Air Suspension FailureSerious
The bags and compressors struggle with the car's 2.5-tonne weight and eventually leak or fail.
- V12 Carbon Buildup & HPFP FailureModerate
The N73 V12 is direct-injected and can suffer from carbon buildup on valves and high-pressure fuel pump failure.
- Soft-Close Door and Coach Door Motor FailuresModerate
The Phantom's signature rear coach doors and soft-close mechanisms rely on complex electric motors that can fail, causing doors to not latch or require manual slamming. The power-closing feature on all doors is a common failure point.
