The 2017 Rolls-Royce Wraith is a remarkably reliable proposition: 97% of vehicles pass their MOT first time, well above the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects affect just 2.9% of the fleet. Failure is genuinely rare at 0.2 per vehicle on average, suggesting these cars are either exceptionally well-maintained or inherently robust.
At 15,220 miles median (19,624 average), these Wraiths are lightly used for their age, which partly explains the stellar results—but even so, the typical advisory count of 1.8 per car indicates minor wear is developing. If you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection should still focus on electrical systems and suspension components, as these are where luxury cars often hide expensive surprises despite clean MOT records.
