2017 Mclaren 570 3.8L Petrol · BX67 AFO

The 2026‑02‑06 MOT at 19,524 miles confirms the McLaren 570 is presently roadworthy, with no defects recorded. Although the 2025‑10‑02 test documented a serious fluid leak on the offside front shock absorber and light misting on the nearside unit, the subsequent repair allowed the vehicle to pass the 2026 inspection, indicating a temporary improvement; however, the repeated failures in 2022 concerning tyre tread and the 2025 suspension issue reveal a pattern of recurring mechanical concerns rather than a stable condition. The recorded mileage averages about 2,169 miles per year, well below the typical usage for a 2017 model, yet the progression shows a notable jump from 11,634 miles in the 2021 test to 15,390 miles in the 2022 tests—a rise of 3,756 miles within a single year, likely reflecting two examinations on the same day. Subsequent increases were modest, with the mileage climbing to 19,524 by the latest test, suggesting periods of limited use interspersed with regular driving, which can accelerate wear in suspension components. A buyer should therefore inspect the front suspension geometry and bush condition, verify that the shock absorber seals are intact and free of leaks, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or excessive wear, and assess tyre wear patterns and wheel alignment, all of which were flagged in earlier tests. Particular attention to the chassis and wheel‑arch areas for structural rust, as well as the condition of the exhaust system and structural integrity, is advisable given the history of tyre failures and suspension defects. While the latest MOT demonstrates current compliance, the documented recurrence of suspension and tyre faults means the vehicle’s long‑term reliability remains uncertain, and a thorough in‑person evaluation of the highlighted components is essential before purchase.
