2012 Mclaren MPA 12C MP4-12C 3.8L Petrol · MD51 MDS

The vehicle presents a high roadworthiness rating, maintaining a consistently stable test history over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 26 June 2025 at 28,139 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a sequence of clean results dating back to 2020, indicating that the car is maintained to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical or structural failure during annual testing. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a high-performance vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 2,000 miles per annum. Data shows a steady but slow progression, moving from 25,811 miles in July 2020 to 28,139 miles in June 2025, a total increase of only 2,328 miles over five years. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on drivetrain and engine components, the intervals between tests indicate the vehicle may sit for extended periods, which can often lead to degradation of materials rather than mechanical friction. Given that the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components most susceptible to low-mileage storage issues. Specific attention is required for the condition of rubber-based elements such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyres, which may dry out or crack despite the low mileage. The buyer should also verify the braking system surfaces and fluid for corrosion or flat spots, as infrequent use often results in seized caliper pistons or surface pitting that a standard MOT does not necessarily flag until it becomes a safety risk.
