1930 Rolls Royce 20/25 3.6L Petrol · RX 6000

The 1930 Rolls Royce 20/25 presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 22 February 2023 at 97,631 miles returned a clean pass, confirming the vehicle remains structurally and mechanically sound under official testing at 96 years of age. Recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a pre-war motor car. Between the 11 April 2017 test at 95,176 miles and the 22 February 2023 test at 97,631 miles, the vehicle covered just 2,455 miles over nearly six years, averaging roughly 409 miles annually. The longest gap in the supplied record runs from 27 July 2020 to 22 February 2023, a period of over two and a half years with only 1,214 miles added. Such low accumulation points to careful seasonal use or extended storage rather than neglect of consumables through heavy wear. A clean MOT history with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. Pre-war chassis and coachwork demand close scrutiny for hidden structural rust, perished rubber components, and seized mechanical linkages that a road test may not expose. The absence of flagged binding calipers or worn coil springs in the record reflects well on prior custodianship, yet standing periods invite moisture damage to cylinder bores and brake systems. Prospective purchasers should commission a marque specialist to verify the integrity of the steering joints, differential, and timber framing beneath the body panels. The documented care pattern implies disciplined ownership, but age alone mandates confirmation of lubrication schedules and the condition of original drivetrain seals before commitment.
