2015 Rolls Royce Ghost

CarHunch analysed 107 real MOT records for the 2015 Rolls Royce Ghost. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2015 Rolls-Royce Ghost has a first-time pass rate of 94.9%, significantly above the UK average of 80%, which signals genuinely strong reliability across this small cohort of 107 vehicles. Only 15.9% have ever recorded a dangerous defect, putting it well below the threshold where safety becomes a primary concern.

These Ghosts are running at just 23,628 miles on average—unusually low for a nine-year-old car—which partly explains the excellent pass rate and the modest 0.37 failures per vehicle. The 2.2 advisories per test suggest minor wear items need monitoring, so when shopping for one, prioritize a recent MOT history and a full service record to confirm that ultra-low mileage hasn't masked deferred maintenance.

What to check before buying a 2015 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.
