Used Rolls-Royce cars overview

Since BMW took charge of the company in 2003, Rolls-Royce has made seven models — the big Phantom saloon and its coupe counterpart, the more compact Ghost saloon, the Cullinan SUV, the Wraith coupe, the Dawn convertible, and the Spectre all-electric coupe. All are large, heavy, and ultra-luxurious, and while all of the mechanical and electronic bits come from BMW, much of the assembly, at the company’s factory in Goodwood, is still by hand. 

All are incredibly refined and comfortable, with interiors full of expensive materials (you won’t find any cheap plastics in a Rolls). While the cars do have modern infotainment systems, these are often discreetly hidden behind wooden panels until you want to use them, giving the insides of a Rolls a discretion that other car makers could learn from. They’re more fun to drive than you’d expect too, with all but the electric Spectre using a magnificent 6.8-litre turbocharged V12 engine that’s as rapid as it is quiet. 

However, even Rolls-Royces have reliability issues — or ‘they fail to proceed’ as the company likes to phrase it. The complex air suspension system, shared by all models, has been known to develop faults, while even that mighty V12 isn’t immune from oil leaks and electronic faults. 

FAQs

Older, pre-BMW era used Rolls-Royce models (so, pre-2003) can be picked up for less than £10,000 but they’re a potential minefield of unreliability and expensive repairs. The most affordable (no Rolls-Royce is cheap) BMW-era Phantom, from 2004, will set you back at least £45,000.

Yes… with care. While second hand prices can drop down to relatively affordable levels, never forget that a Rolls-Royce is a car, essentially, designed to be bought by millionaires, with servicing and maintenance costs appropriate to that kind of customer. Anything that goes wrong or needs replacing is going to cost a small fortune, and while there are independent specialists who can carry out work at a more competitive price, there’s just no way to run a Roller on the cheap.

Rolls-Royce has seven official dealerships in the UK, and one service-only centre in Bristol, all of which will have access to used stock. There are also many independent Rolls-Royce specialists, which will often have more recent models in their inventories.
