Our Verdict
The 2015 McLaren 570S offers strong performance and exclusivity but requires careful inspection of its minor MOT issues. The recent MOT pass and low mileage make it a tempting proposition, though past failures suggest potential maintenance risks.
Prioritise checking the condition of the nearside and offside rear tyres mentioned in the 2024 MOT, ensuring they've been replaced if worn. Inspect the windscreen washer system for proper functionality and verify that undertray modifications comply with safety standards. Request full service records to confirm maintenance history, particularly around the 2023 failure date. Be prepared to negotiate based on the vehicle's low mileage, which could justify a premium but may also indicate limited usage.
As a petrol-powered supercar, the 570S will have higher fuel costs than mainstream vehicles, with estimated combined consumption around 20-25 mpg. Road tax is £0 for 2017+ models, but insurance groups for high-performance cars typically range from 30-40. Maintenance costs will be elevated due to specialist servicing requirements, with major repairs potentially exceeding £5,000. Annual running costs could total £1,500-£2,000 depending on usage and repair history.
Focus on the rear tyres mentioned in the 2024 MOT, checking for uneven wear or replacement history. Test the windscreen washer system to ensure adequate fluid pressure and nozzle alignment. Examine the undertray covers for damage or improper installation. Inspect the engine bay for leaks or signs of overheating, and verify that all fluid levels are within specification. Check for any unexplained modifications that might affect performance or safety.
This 2015 McLaren 570S has a generally clean MOT history with only minor issues recorded. The 7,397-mile odometer reading is significantly below average for its age, suggesting careful ownership. However, past failures related to tyre wear, washer systems, and undertray modifications warrant closer scrutiny.
While no aggregate data exists for the McLaren 570S, this vehicle's recent MOT performance suggests generally reliable operation when properly maintained.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: MCLAREN 570S
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Paint Bubbling / Corrosion(Moderate)
Aluminum panels can suffer from oxidation under the paint, typically starting at the edges of the doors or wheel arches.
- Coolant Hose Clamp Leaks(Moderate)
McLaren used a specific type of hose clamp that can loosen over time, leading to slow coolant leaks in the engine bay.
- Door Latch and Soft-Close Failure(Moderate)
The mechanism for the dihedral doors can become misaligned or the soft-close motor can fail, making the doors difficult to latch.
- Door Hinge Cracking and Alignment(Moderate)
The dihedral door hinges are under significant mechanical stress and can develop cracks over time. This affects door clearance and can damage surrounding paintwork. Hinge replacement requires careful recalibration of door alignment.
- SSG Gearbox Main Shaft Bearing Wear(Serious)
The 7-speed Graziano dual-clutch gearbox is generally reliable but has a known weakness in its main shaft bearings. When they collapse, gear selection becomes erratic and oil leaks can develop. A full gearbox rebuild is expensive but the issue is well understood by specialists.
