2016 Rolls Royce Dawn 6.6L Petrol · T14 PNA

A consistent track record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle's history, with a sequence of clean passes culminating in the most recent test on 27 January 2026. The absence of major failures or recurring mechanical defects across five recorded tests indicates a stable roadworthiness trend. While a minor advisory regarding tyre wear appeared in late 2024, the subsequent two tests in November 2025 and January 2026 were completed without any defects or advisories. The recorded mileage of 73,869 miles represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,387 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. This usage pattern suggests a regular operational cycle rather than prolonged periods of stasis or excessive heavy-duty use. Mechanically, this level of mileage typically involves standard wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though no specific failures in these areas have been noted in the DVSA records. Inspection should focus on the rear axle and tyre condition, following the December 2024 advisory where both offside and nearside rear tyres were recorded as worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. During a test drive, the buyer should monitor for any steering pull or unusual vibrations at cruising speeds, which could indicate that the edge wear was a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or suspension geometry issues. Further attention should be paid to the overall condition of the tyre treads to ensure the previous advisories were rectified with a full replacement and proper alignment. A physical inspection of the tyre shoulders for uneven wear patterns will confirm if the underlying cause of the 2024 advisory has been addressed. As no other specific mechanical components were flagged in the history, the primary focus for the roadworthiness evaluation remains on the consumables and wheel alignment.
