MCLAREN 720S COUPE2017 · 4.0L PETROL

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, as evidenced by its most recent MOT on 16 April 2024 at 15,281 miles, which reported no defects. All recorded tests since 2020 passed without advisories or failures, indicating consistent compliance with UK roadworthiness standards. No recurring faults or deteriorating components are documented in the MOT history, supporting an ongoing pattern of adequate upkeep. The mileage progression aligns with infrequent use, accumulating only 15,281 miles over nine years. Mileage increments between tests are gradual: 1,018 miles in 2020, rising to 6,116 by early 2022, 11,685 in May 2023, and 15,281 by April 2024. This reflects an average of ~1,698 miles annually, consistent with occasional or seasonal use. The low mileage suggests minimal wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads but raises considerations for potential issues from prolonged inactivity, such as battery degradation, seized suspension pivots, or dried rubber seals. Buyers should prioritise inspecting structural components for corrosion, particularly in high-stress areas like suspension mounts, wheel arches, and exhaust brackets, as McLaren’s carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer bodywork requires scrutiny for micro-cracks or delamination. Fluids—including coolant, transmission oil, and power steering fluid—should be tested for contamination or oxidation from extended dormancy. The braking system, though unremarked in MOTs, warrants close examination of caliper slides and piston seals for binding due to low-use corrosion. Additionally, verify exhaust manifold integrity and engine mount condition, as these high-stress components may exhibit fatigue over time despite minimal mileage.
