Defect rate by model year

Comparison of Rolls Royce WRAITH versus average car of the same model year.

The Rolls Royce Wraith, introduced in 2013, is a luxury grand tourer that combines opulence with performance, boasting a powerful V12 engine and a design that epitomizes the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship. As a modern interpretation of the classic grand touring car, the Wraith has garnered attention for its blend of luxury and sportiness, appealing to discerning buyers looking for an exquisite driving experience.

In terms of reliability, the Wraith has performed exceptionally well when compared to the average cars of the same model years. Over the years analyzed, the Wraith has consistently demonstrated a significantly lower defect rate than the average vehicle. For instance, in 2014, the Wraith recorded about 50 defects per 100 tests, which is an impressive 74% better than the average of 194 defects for that year. This trend continues with the 2015 model, showing 33 defects per 100 tests, which is 80% better than its peers.

However, a few recurring issues have been noted across the inspected years. Common problems include tyre tread depth deficiencies and brake wear, which, while important, are not unique to the Wraith and are often seen across various models. The 2016 and 2017 models displayed a similar pattern, with defects per 100 tests at 35 and 28, respectively. The 2018 model improved even further, with only 23 defects per 100 tests, marking a continued trend of reliability.

Overall, the Wraith has shown a clear trajectory of improvement in reliability over the years, particularly from 2014 to 2018, where each model year has performed better than the last. This consistent performance enhances the Wraith's reputation as a luxury vehicle that not only delivers in comfort and style but also stands up well in terms of reliability and maintenance.
