Rolls-Royce Wraith MOT reliability
There were not enough MOT tests of Rolls-Royce Wraiths in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.
Rolls-Royce Wraith registrations over time
Registrations of Rolls-Royce Wraiths for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 176 in 2014. In 2025, 0 were registered. With almost none registered new, the number on the road is likely to keep falling.

Rolls-Royce Wraith fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Rolls-Royce Wraith from 2014, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2019 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol versions ranges from 15.7 to 18.0 mpg, with CO2 of 357 to 370 g/km. On the older NEDC test (listings 2014 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol versions ranges from 19.3 to 20.2 mpg, with CO2 of 327 to 333 g/km.
| Engine and fuel | Combined mpg | CO2 g/km | Listed | Euro standard | Versions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6.6 petrol | 15.7–18.0 | 357–370 | 2019–2026 | Euro 6d‑TEMP to Euro 6d | 2 |

- Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
- NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide) come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
- Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model name “Wraith”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Rolls-Royce Wraith safety recalls
We found no recalls for the Rolls-Royce Wraith in DVSA’s records since 1992. That does not mean none apply: DVSA sometimes records a recall under a range or chassis name we cannot match to a model. Check a specific car on GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Rolls-Royce Wraith. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.

- Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
- Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
- First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
- Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
