Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Below Average

Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: ROLLS ROYCE DAWN
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Roof Mechanism Sensor Faults(Moderate)
The complex folding roof uses numerous sensors to ensure alignment. Dirt or slight misalignment can cause the cycle to pause or fail.
- Air Suspension and Heavy Curb Weight Wear(Serious)
Like the Wraith, the Dawn's weight puts significant strain on air struts and suspension bushes, especially on UK roads.
- Battery Drain and Electrical Gremlins(Moderate)
The Dawn, like other modern Rolls-Royces, is highly sensitive to battery voltage. Cars that sit unused for extended periods can develop multiple warning lights, infotainment glitches, and power-door inconsistencies due to low battery voltage.
