Our Verdict
This 2019 Bugatti Chiron (HV19CZO) is a very low-risk purchase based on its spotless MOT record and minimal mileage. Buyers should still insist on full main-dealer service history and a professional inspection given the vehicle's value and performance potential.
Given the Chiron's rarity and value, the most important step before purchase is verifying the full Bugatti main-dealer service history and confirming the car has been stored correctly when not in use. The two MOT passes with zero defects suggest no statutory roadworthiness concerns, but a private pre-purchase inspection by a Bugatti-trained specialist is essential to check for any non-MOT items such as tyre age, fluid condition, and calibration of the active aerodynamics. Negotiate only on the basis of provenance, remaining manufacturer warranty status, and included extras such as charging equipment or tailored cover, as the MOT data gives no leverage on condition grounds.
As a 7993cc petrol Euro 6AZ hypercar, the Chiron sits in the highest VED band and will incur the £600+ annual road tax plus the five-year expensive car supplement if applicable. Insurance will be bespoke and extremely high, typically running into tens of thousands of pounds per year for UK cover on a vehicle of this value. Maintenance must be carried out by Bugatti or authorised agents, with servicing costs potentially exceeding five figures annually; fuel economy is irrelevant in real terms but expect single-digit mpg under any spirited use, placing estimated annual running costs well beyond £30,000 including consumables.
The MOT history shows no failure types of any kind across the 2022 and 2023 tests, so there are no recorded statutory defects to revisit; however, confirm the odometer reading of 3,668 miles matches the service records and has not been incorrectly recorded. As a 2019 black example, check paintwork for stone chipping on the front splitter and inspect the carbon-ceramic brakes for corrosion from limited use given the low annual mileage of 610 miles. General inspection should cover tyre sidewall age despite tread depth, fluid levels, and the operation of all driver aids, as these are not assessed during a standard MOT but are critical on an 8.0-litre quad-turbo vehicle.
The black 2019 Chiron shows just 3,668 miles at its most recent MOT in May 2023, having covered only 610 miles in the prior year. Both MOT tests on record passed with no defects recorded, indicating the car has been lightly used and well maintained. With no aggregate model reliability data available, the assessment rests purely on this vehicle's own clean history and exceptionally low mileage for a five-year-old hypercar.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Bugatti Chiron, so reliability assessment is limited to this individual vehicle's clean test history.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: BUGATTI CHIRON
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- 7-Speed DCT Gearbox Mechatronic Faults(Serious)
The Chiron uses a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission that handles 1,600 Nm of torque. Mechatronic unit failures can cause erratic gear changes, failure to engage gears, and transmission warning lights. The gearbox oil and filter must be changed at every service. Early cars were more prone to software-related gearbox issues, though hardware failures can occur.
- W16 Oil Leaks and Turbo Oil System Degradation(Serious)
While improved over the Veyron, the Chiron's W16 still suffers from oil leaks as it ages. Valve cover gaskets, turbo oil return lines, and the dry-sump system seals degrade from heat cycling. The Chiron's higher power output generates even more thermal stress on these components. Early detection is critical to prevent turbo damage from oil starvation.
- Electrical and Software Glitches(Moderate)
The Chiron's complex electronics suite — managing everything from the W16 engine to the active aerodynamics and climate control — can develop software-related faults. Infotainment freezes, sensor calibration issues, and intermittent warning lights are reported. Bugatti addresses these through software updates, but not all owners keep up with updates.
- Active Aerodynamics Wear(Serious)
The Chiron features an active rear wing and front splitter that adjust automatically for downforce, braking, and top-speed modes. The hydraulic actuators and linkages can develop play or fail, causing aerodynamic imbalance and warning lights. The rear wing also functions as an airbrake, so reliability is safety-critical.
- Cooling System Complexity(Serious)
While simplified from the Veyron's ten-radiator setup, the Chiron still uses a multi-circuit cooling system with dedicated circuits for the engine, intercoolers, transmission, and oil. Hose connections, thermostat housings, and coolant pumps are potential failure points. Overheating can cause catastrophic damage to the W16.
