2020 Mclaren GT V8 S-A 4.0L Petrol · RE70 POJ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 24 December 2025 at 20,895 miles, though the maintenance trend leading up to this pass is deeply concerning. The record shows a rapid deterioration in vehicle condition between December 2024 and December 2025, culminating in two consecutive test failures within a single week. While the car eventually passed, the presence of multiple critical defects including exposed tyre cords, an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light, and imbalanced front brakes suggests that basic maintenance was neglected for a significant period. The recorded mileage of 20,895 over six years averages approximately 3,482 miles annually, which is notably low for a high-performance grand tourer. The jump from 4,073 miles in November 2023 to 13,505 miles by December 2024 indicates a period of more active use, followed by a slower accumulation leading to the current reading. The sparse history prior to 2023 provides little insight into the car's early life, but the sudden cluster of failures in late 2025 implies the vehicle may have been subjected to aggressive driving or poor storage conditions that accelerated the wear on consumables. Prospective buyers must prioritise a comprehensive inspection of the braking system and the engine management electronics. The failure regarding imbalanced front brakes and the engine malfunction indicator light requires professional diagnostic verification to ensure no underlying mechanical or electrical faults persist. Furthermore, the recurring windscreen damage noted in three consecutive tests warrants a close check for structural integrity or stress fractures. Given the history of tyres worn to the cords and edge-wear, inspect the suspension geometry and alignment settings to confirm that the previous owner did not ignore tracking issues that could cause premature tyre scrub and compromised handling.
