2014 Mclaren MP4-12C 3.8L Petrol · DC14 MCL

The McLaren MP4-12C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 May 2025 at 27,214 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since the single 2023 failure. The vehicle shows no worsening pattern and no recurring advisories across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 27,214 miles for a twelve-year-old car, an average of roughly 2,268 miles per year. The DVSA data shows gentle accumulation: 18,888 miles in April 2022, 23,574 at the failed test of 13 April 2023, 23,591 five days later, 25,597 by May 2024, and 27,214 by May 2025. No abrupt jumps or dormant gaps appear, though the sparse five-entry record limits deep trend analysis. Low annual use of this order often means long standing periods for a mid-engined supercar. The only blemish is the failure on 13 April 2023 at 23,574 miles, reversed on 18 April 2023 at 23,591 miles with no defects listed. DVSA omission of failure reasons prevents diagnosis of the fault, but the same-week pass implies a minor or administrative correction rather than structural repair. Previous keepers clearly kept the car lightly used and test-compliant. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the age and low-mileage storage risks. Check for corrosion on structural subframes and verify the 2023 failure cause via DVSA failure details before purchase. The clean recent record supports value, but standing time can hide perished seals and flat-spotted tyres unseen in the MOT data.
