Which year to buy? →
The 2014 Rapide delivers a robust 90.9% first-time pass rate—a solid 11 points above the UK average—with just 15.5% of vehicles ever recording a dangerous defect, which is manageable for a luxury sports car of this age and complexity. These Rapides are genuinely well-maintained by their owners, suggesting the cars attract conscientious buyers willing to invest in upkeep.
At 26,879 miles median, these examples are relatively lightly used for a decade-old vehicle, which explains the low failure rate of 0.9 per test. However, the high advisory count of 5.9 per vehicle signals that while nothing critical fails often, minor wear items and trim issues accumulate—typical for a hand-stitched, high-specification machine. Before committing, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the gearbox and air conditioning, as these are where Rapide ownership costs tend to surface.
