Rolls-Royce Wraith
The Wraith combines Ghost mechanicals with a pillarless coupe body and effortless V12 torque. It is usually durable when exercised and maintained properly, but air suspension wear, battery-sensitive electronics, and expensive door or comfort-feature faults are central ownership themes.

Common Faults & Reliability
These are the most common documented problems for the Rolls-Royce Wraith, sorted by their typical impact and frequency.
Air Suspension Strut and Compressor Wear
high severityThe Wraith is heavy and relies on air suspension for its trademark ride quality. Ageing struts or a tired compressor can leave the car sitting low or riding far more harshly than it should.
V12 Engine Oil and Coolant Seepage
medium severityDerived from BMW architecture, the N74 V12 can develop leaks from turbo oil feed lines and the main cooling radiator or expansion tank as seals age.
Battery Voltage and Control Module Faults
medium severityLike other modern Rolls-Royces, the Wraith is highly sensitive to low voltage. Cars that sit unused can produce multiple warning messages or strange behaviour until the battery issue is corrected.
