2013 MCLAREN MP4-12C 12C3.8L PETROL

This 2013 McLaren MP4-12C has a nearly spotless MOT history, with only one minor advisory on record. The most recent test in March 2022 was a clean pass with no defects recorded, which is a positive sign. The only recurring mechanical pattern is a light misting of oil from the offside front shock absorber noted in 2018. This was not reported again at the 2019 or 2022 tests, suggesting it either dried up, was replaced, or was not considered serious enough to re-flag. The trend here appears stable and not worsening. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old supercar at roughly 360 miles per year. This is far below average and strongly suggests the car has been used very sparingly, likely stored for long periods. While low mileage can reduce wear on brakes, tyres, and suspension bushes, it also introduces risks from lack of use. Seals, gaskets, and the shock absorber noted in 2018 can dry out or leak when a car sits idle for months, and the battery, tyres, and brake fluid may have aged out by time rather than distance. Because the mileage is so low, the signal is clear: this car has not been driven hard or often.
