Rolls Royce Ghost (2010)
2010 Rolls Royce Ghost
CarHunch analysed 133 real MOT records for the 2010 Rolls Royce Ghost. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost is remarkably reliable, with a 94.4% first-time MOT pass rate well above the UK average of 80%, and only 15% of vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects—a reassuring figure for a car in this class. Petrol and diesel breakdowns aren't relevant here, as this model is exclusively petrol-powered.
These Ghosts are being kept in excellent condition, averaging just 36,665 miles at 14 years old, which reflects careful ownership typical of the marque. With fewer than one failure per vehicle on average (0.77) but 2.5 advisories, maintenance issues tend to be minor wear items rather than structural problems—though any repair on a Ghost will be expensive, so budget accordingly and have a specialist inspect before purchase.
What to check before buying a 2010 Rolls Royce Ghost
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
