More info... year, and maintenance history you can provide, any recent issues.

No a suspension issue will not cause it not to move, it may cause it not to drive correctly. (i.e. limp mode)

If it is a P38 the most common problem is a bad connection in you gear box electronic system under you driver seat (left hand drive ) when this happens you can change gears but everything gets creasy .. Normally it is just a mater of disconnecting the unit cleaning the connector and this is it .Keep us informed O.K. good luck.( you have to unscrew the seat to reach the protector cover then just unplug clean and reinstall the plug .)
