Expert verdict
Tyres: 3.8× the national share
Tyres make up 75.0% of everything recorded on the 2020 Rolls-Royce Phantom, against 19.8% nationally — 55.2 points above. Check all four tyres yourself, including the inner shoulders, and look at the date stamp — a tyre can pass on tread and still be six years old.
- Beats its own age and mileage. Once you allow for how old and how far these cars have been driven, the expected pass rate is 90.7% and this one manages 100.0% — 9.3 points ahead of what its age and mileage predict.
- Based on a small sample. 55 tests back this page. That is enough to publish and to index, not enough to treat the decimal places as precise — read the pattern, not the second digit.

The twenty areas with the most Rolls-Royce Phantom cars in the record, sorted by car count — sort the columns for a different question. Cars tested at a station whose postcode area could not be resolved are counted in the model's total but in no area, so the shares add up to slightly under 100% even across every area, and an area's cars are a subset of the model's. Pass rate is blank below 30 tests in an area, where a percentage is noise rather than a finding. How this model's pass rate varies by postcode →
