2015 Rolls Royce Wraith

CarHunch analysed 126 real MOT records for the 2015 Rolls Royce Wraith. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2015 Rolls-Royce Wraith is exceptionally reliable at its first MOT, with a 95% pass rate well above the UK average of 80%, and only 12.7% of vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects — a reassuringly low figure for a luxury car. These vehicles are also lightly used, averaging just 25,264 miles over nine years, which explains the minimal failure rate of 0.39 per car.

The real story lies in the advisories: owners rack up an average of 2.9 per test, suggesting that while major mechanical failures are rare, routine maintenance and minor attention items are normal. If you're buying one, budget for preventative servicing and don't be alarmed by advisory notices — they're typical for high-specification luxury cars where even small wear items get flagged.

What to check before buying a 2015 Rolls Royce Wraith

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
