How many Rolls-Royce Phantoms are left in Great Britain?
There were 739 Rolls-Royce Phantoms licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 309 declared off the road (SORN).
That is 3.8% fewer than the peak of 768 in 2019.
There were not enough MOT tests of Rolls-Royce Phantoms in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.
Rolls-Royce Phantom registrations over time
Registrations of Rolls-Royce Phantoms for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 162 in 2008. In 2025, 35 were registered.

How we use engine sizes.
Rolls-Royce Phantom fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Rolls-Royce Phantom from 2003, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2019 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol versions ranges from 15.5 to 18.8 mpg, with CO2 of 341 to 365 g/km. On the older NEDC test (listings 2003 to 2016), official combined fuel economy for its petrol versions ranges from 17.0 to 19.1 mpg, with CO2 of 347 to 388 g/km.

Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2003 to 2016
Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide)
come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “Phantom”, “Phantom EWB”, “Phantom Drophead Coupé”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Rolls-Royce Phantom safety recalls
DVSA lists 2 safety recalls for the Rolls-Royce Phantom since 1992, the first in 2010. The most recent was launched on 11 January 2016.
Side curtain airbags may not deploy correctly
Launched 11 January 2016DVSA recall R/2015/226
Defect
The side curtain air bags for both left and right sides of the vehicle may not have been produced to specification. It is possible for the side curtain air bag may not position itself as intended during a collision thereby further increasing the risk of injury to the occupants.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the side curtain air bags on both left and right of the vehicle. Where necessary the side curtain air bag will be replaced.
Vehicles affected
4 Phantom vehicles
Built
8 May 2015 to 30 Sept 2015
The other recall
8 Oct 2010 Possible reduction in brake servo assistance (689 vehicles)
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Rolls-Royce Phantom. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
