All Known Issues

Air Suspension Strut and Compressor Wear

SeriousSuspension & Chassis

The 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.

Est. Repair Cost: £1,500–£2,800 per corner
Warning Signs:

Car sits unevenly after standing, Harsh ride over small bumps, Compressor runs loudly or for too long

What to Inspect:
  • Check ride height before and after a test drive
  • Listen for repeated compressor cycling
  • Inspect for any history of air strut replacement

Battery Voltage and Control Module Faults

ModerateElectrics & Electronics

Like 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.

Est. Repair Cost: £350–£1,200
Warning Signs:

Multiple warning lights after startup, Slow cranking, Comfort systems behaving erratically

What to Inspect:
  • Check battery age and conditioner use
  • Start the car from cold after storage if possible
  • Verify that warnings clear once voltage is stable

Buying Tips for 2022 Rolls-Royce Wraith

  • ✓A healthy battery and routine conditioner use matter because low voltage can trigger a wide range of false or intermittent faults
  • ✓Check every seat, window, door, soft-close, and infotainment function repeatedly because comfort-module issues are expensive to chase
  • ✓Inspect the ride height after the car has stood and listen for excessive compressor activity on startup
  • ✓Budget realistically for tyres, brakes, and general age-related work even on low-mileage cars
