Things to check

  • 2008 RR Phantom plastic park brake actuator gear failure — a known, serious historical fault for this model.

  • Major failure: Offside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (Aug 2014) — indicates a period of poor maintenance.
  • Major failure: Nearside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (Aug 2014) — indicates a period of poor maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,257 miles/year — no fraud indicators.
  • No recurring failures on the same system — each failure was isolated and addressed.
  • Recent MOT pass (Feb 2023) — vehicle is currently roadworthy and compliant.
