Rolls-Royce Silver Seraphs licensed in Great Britain
There were not enough MOT tests of Rolls-Royce Silver Seraphs 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.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph. 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.
