2017 Mclaren 720S V8 S-A 4.0L Petrol · A7 SNS

The 2017 McLaren 720S presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 2 June 2025 at 14,894 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, confirming the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards without any advisories. This unbroken sequence of flawless tests indicates a meticulous approach to upkeep, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults emerging over the recorded history. The mileage accumulation aligns with exceptionally low usage, averaging roughly 1,655 miles per year over nine years. Between the November 2021 test at 6,377 miles and the November 2022 test at 10,867 miles, the car covered 4,490 miles, suggesting a period of more active driving. Usage dropped significantly thereafter, with only 801 miles added between November 2022 and November 2023, and a mere 2,010 miles over the subsequent twelve months leading to the June 2025 test. Such sporadic, low-mileage driving often leads to prolonged periods of inactivity, which can cause flat-spotting on tyres and moisture accumulation in the brake fluid and exhaust system. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on the specific risks associated with long-term standing and low mileage. Check the tyre sidewalls and tread for cracking or flat-spotting, as the rubber may have perished from lack of use rather than wear. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion, which can develop rapidly when a car sits idle and leads to binding calipers or juddering under braking. Examine the suspension bushes and seals for deterioration, and verify the condition of the exhaust system for internal condensation-related corrosion. The drivetrain and battery management system also warrant scrutiny, as extended dormancy can degrade cell health and lubrication distribution.
