MCLAREN 720S COUPE2018 · 4.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT, carried out on 11 March 2026 at 9 417 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the vehicle passed three consecutive tests (January 2025, January 2023 and March 2022) also with no defects. The only recorded failure occurred on 28 March 2022 at 5 457 miles, when the off‑side front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover was found to no longer prevent the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b)(ii)). Since that single failure, the car has returned to a clean MOT record, indicating that the issue was either repaired or did not recur. The trend therefore appears to be improving or at least stable, with no evidence of a worsening pattern. At eight years old the vehicle has covered only about 9 400 miles, roughly 1 180 miles per year. This low mileage suggests light use or extended periods of standing rather than high‑wear operation. Low mileage can mean that age‑related deterioration of rubber components (such as dust covers) may occur even without significant mechanical wear, while high‑use items like brakes and suspension may show less wear than expected for the age. Given the limited MOT history, the most important areas to inspect in person are: - The off‑side front lower suspension arm ball joint and its dust cover for cracks, splitting or signs of dirt ingress. - Play or roughness in the ball joint by attempting to move the wheel laterally and vertically with the car raised.
